So, I’ve got a few Skat Traks that have been excellent machines. They call for 30W non-detergent motor oil for Hydraulics. This oil runs all functions. It’s getting hard to come by. Any reason I can’t use something different like ISO46 Hyd. Oil or the HyTran my Case Dozers use? Will anything but motor oil damage anything? My understanding is non-detergent won’t foam but my oil supplier says all the new oils have an additive so they don’t foam. Would regular oil work then?
