Re: Changing Hydraulic Oil
The oil in my excav is changed every couple wks & looks just like Rod's sample everytime.
The 15bar pressure & aluminum cylinder barrels are the two main reasons for the oil darkening so quick.
My dozer, track loader, wheel loader all run @10bar & the oil color is much cleaner/clearer after six months.
Steel cylinder barrels would help so much to maintain oil color/quality.
A couple wks for me is about 15 to 20hrs of intermitent use.
