Here is my engine oil and hydraulic oil dispensers, went to a meeting on hydraulic fluids at Cat dealer and they told us that hydraulic oils should be run through a filter that will remove all particulates down to 2 microns to safeguard the hydraulic systems of today's machines. So I installed a hydraulic filter in the dispenser for the hydraulic fluid to do just that. How does everyone else handle bulk hydraulic and engine oils? I have always thought that new oil & fluids would be OK to go directly in the machines, but Cat says it is best to filter it, to be on the safe side.....
