Your question is about the 10w-30 used as hydraulic oil in older machines. Yes, 10w-30 was and is still used my many machines of that era even in the cold. I too, live in Minn and my 753 is stored in a unheated shed and is used for snow plowing etc in the winter. About two years ago I was going to make the switch to the new bobcat hyd fluid. I went to the dealer to purchase the fluid and the mechanic there said to me. Unless my hydraulics were contaminated with water leave it alone, it would be hard to drain out the old fluid and would most likely break a fitting trying. Someday when you blow a hose, then make the switch.</p></blockquote><p></p>
