        Hi Folks can you advise what fluid I should put in the hydraulic system of a Foton 404 with FEL.
        I had the FEL fully up supporting a beast being dressed out but when required to move a little the power steering wasn’t operating, presumably all the fluid was used up in the rams.
        I am located in Perth Western Australia we have a Mediterranean climate and don’t get any freezing weather.
        Will the recommended oil be ok with whatever is in the machine or will it need to be drained for the new stuff to go in?
        Many thanks in anticipation
