[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 12701, member: 82"] After this, i can see the whole “can of worms” starting :) Will be interesting to see if we can actually get the *rite* answer for all this. When you say engine oil is only made to withstand 200 psi or so, what difference is there between that and hydraulic oil? I just can't see any difference as they are both liquid so they can be compressed essentially indefinitely. I just don't understand how it all reacts at a molecular level. I guess it could cause it to start breaking down earlier. I have no signs of degradation of my RX super 15W40 that i run in my 743 after 2 years, i haven't put a lot of hours on it, but it has a few plus time and its as good as the day i filled it up. When the oil is still in the ground in the form of crude oil, its under a lot more than 5,000 PSI. I do like the idea of fire-resistant additives though. [/QUOTE]
