            Wander no more. Wonder no more.

            The book says to use multi-grade engine oil? Sure, it will work, and so will water, gasoline, diesel fuel, and hydrochloric acid. I've heard Northern make some ignorant statements before, so I'll just add that one to the list. The best oil you can use (IMHO) in it is a multi-grade hydraulic oil [AW ISO 32/46/68]. If that's not available to you, then (depending if you operate in a hot or cold climate) AW ISO 32 or AW ISO 46 hydraulic oil.

                Since it's a return line filter, and you don't have a suction side filter, I would stick with the 25µ filter. NAPA probably has a comparable hydraulic filter. Zinga filters are a good quality and quite popular Available at most hydraulic shops, and online through sites like Surplus Center. http://www.surpluscenter.com/s…..rds=filter

                  just as a bit of almost useless knowledge the old john deere model g used 30 wt engine oil in the hydro. rear 4 point lift systems. I think the idea was one oil for everything.

                    Yes, that's true, but that only works if the tractor manufacturers and oil companies work together. Formulating additive packages for oil base stocks is not an easy task and can take years of research. So the simple rule of thumb is: Engine oil for the engine, hydraulic oil for the hydraulics, gear oil for the gears, and grease for the joints. Some later model tractors have been designed to work with the fairly recent advances in base stock compounding, and specify the use of UTF and THF oils.
