[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 12722, member: 437"] Tazza I read somewhere that the molecules of oils do change shape under pressure and that hydraulic oils are designed to keep the shape spherical under pressure instead of flattening out. I just tried to find that info again and can't. I'll keep looking for it. Another note on changing viscosity is that the system pressures will increase as viscosity does so if you change oils you may have to adjust your relief valve. [/QUOTE]
