What type of hydraulic oil in CAT 262?

[eddieg30]

Hello, I wanted to change out the hydraulic oil on my Cat 262 skidsteer and wanted to know what type of hydraulic oil I should be using. I was planning on using Coastal CUI AW ISO32 hydraulic oil from Autozone. If I buy in bulk they will give me a deal on a 5 gal bucket, $30. Below is the link to the product. I would like to hear your suggestions and opinions. Thanks! http://www.warrenunilube.com/hydraulic.html

I dont think that is a suitable oil for the system due to the hydrostats. Although the price is right it may cause severe wear to the drive pumps. The factory fill is always a good choice but pricey. The recomended substitute for most skids is 10w30 engine oil and alot of people take this route after the warranty is up. Stay away from the cheap hydraulic only oil.
