I am a first time bobcat owner. I just purchased an S330 and need to know what type of hydrostatic fluid is fit for purpose. I am getting a low pressure error and of course it is Sunday and the bobcat dealer is not open. I know that the manual says bobcat brand only, but is there a safe substitute?? Thanks in advance!!

Any quality brand 10 weight hydraulic oil will be safe and do just fine, R+O is a term to discribe it , the Bobcat oil is very expensive because of packaging and shipping to the dealers , sure they are going to tell you only use their oil , Henry Ford said " I can give everyone in America a car free but they have to have all service and parts from me " , I think what he was saying is the money is in parts and service not the original sale
