[QUOTE="JustAwrench, post: 1135, member: 178"] You're right. Unless you're running new(under warranty) machines and attachments it's probably not worth worrying about. I do wonder where it's going, though. Bobcat is getting more adamant about using Black Gold and I've heard rumor about dye. I bought some Ingersoll-Rand engine oil the other day and it's purple. The Hy-Gaard is red like ATF and I've met people who think it's OK to put ATF in their hydraulic tanks. People will put Brake fluid in hydraulic oil to seal up leaks to sell the machine(but that's evil, not ignorance).The near future I see is oil analysis to support warranty claims and possible rejections due to improper oil. Sure seems a simple thing to just use what they recommend, and I'd hate to see a rejected warranty claim on pumps and motors because a trace of wrong color dye was found. [/QUOTE]
