MF50 Hydraulic Oil

[Sam B]

looking for the recommended oil for my MF50 hydraulic/rear end. the hydraulics are very slow to react during the winter.

Thanks,
Sam

you can replace with a good quality 15W40 motor oil. This will improve you winter operation. I still use straigh GL-1 and the lift is slow but in 5 min. it's warmed up and good to go.

Use universal hydraulic and transmission oil. Motor oil can foam in a hydraulic system.
