[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 122359, member: 7474"] It all depends on how extreme the climate change is. It’s the same for a car or truck. That’s why they make oils with a weight range like 5w-30w. Back in the day you would most likely only be able to find single weight oils (30w). This is also true of hydraulic/hydrostatic oils. Bobcat used to just offer one hydraulic oil that covered a wide range of temperatures. Now they offer two with different ranges which you may have to change from winter to summer depending on the temperature swing between seasons. You can normally find charts with temperature ranges for the different weight oils. Your users manual should have a chart for what weight oil to use at different temperature ranges for your specific machine. [/QUOTE]
