[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 12749, member: 437"] fishfiles Can you get a copy of the bulletin and post an image of it for all to see. Like it was stated before Bobcat doesn't publish what grade their branded oil is. But since they only have one grade that they sell we can assume that it's an all weather multi-grade oil. Very few oil manufacturers make a multi-grade hydraulic oil and most are branded by one of the farm equipment manufacturers, John Deere Hy-Gard, Kubota Super UDT and Amsoil Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic are the couple I found. Using the wrong viscosity oil can lead to component failure. Too thin and it thins out at high temp and parts wear quickly. Too thick and pumps cavitate. [/QUOTE]
