If it was mine, and it's just the hydraulics, not transmission etc, then I'd just flush it and fill it with AW hydraulic fluid, or universal tractor fluid, just NOT 303. Pay at least $40/bucket.

I have been meaning to see where I got my on line book from and get that to you but I have not. As I read the chart in my book there are many different weights of oil acceptable depending on temperature. I am running 30W.

I use Kendall Power Shift Fluid 10W in both trans and hydraulic tanks of Dresser TD7G. Get it at the the Komatsu dealer.

Any opinions of using universal trans-hydraulic as a substitute for the 10w in a transmission? Can't quite get the manufacturer specs to line up, but same weight, similar properties, generally cheaper.
