If your asking what hydraulic fluid is used on a 955L, well it should be 10W or AW32, unless your running in a hot climate and then go to AW46

For the climate in Greece a 68 would also probably work in hydraulics, but personally I would start with a 46 and see how the machine performs.

I saw some threads in this forum where they say that we must use 10 w oil for hydraulics for the 955l.I know that 10 w isn t the same as tellus oils what s your opinion?sorry for my english

My service manual does say to use 10W mineral oil. Now my manual is old and produced around when the machine was made (guessing). It doesn't mention zinc based oils but I know zinc is a good thing for reducing wear. The Shell Tellus oils has two option with a zinc base so I would say they should be good for your machine. Think I'll look further into them and may use them my self in the future.

Any idea for clean all the system it has water in it.the oil is milked.i can t find where came the water into the tank.

Take the side cover off the tank and use some diesel to clean it out. Then wipe it out and put some fresh oil in it
