[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 9945, member: 307"] Perry The manuals for both my NH and Bobcat call for motor oil. So that what I have always used. I have never had a problem, and some of the guys are saying bobcat now recommends hyd oil. I'm staying with what I have always used based on the manual,and that NH wants motor oil and I switch attachments between loaders. Further , our local heavy equipment mechanic that takes on our work I don't want to do in my shop feels that motor oil have better lubrication properties over hyd oil. He had us switch 2 of our skidders from A.T.F. to 15/40 (for use only in the summer) and this resulted in 15 to 20 degrees cooler hyd tank temps. I have just choosen to stay with what has worked with my skidsteers. Ken [/QUOTE]
