This is an older machine and I can't find manuals for it. On the unit itself, it calls for SAE 90 EP for just about everything besides the engine. I know a lot of newer oils have been made since then. Seems like I can find SAE 90 GL-5 which I think might be the same thing? Any recommendations on this?
I also need to drain the hydraulic fluid and add new, as the current stuff looks like milk! What grade should I be using and any tips to draining the system completely? I know in a perfect world I would drain it, then fill it with new, run it for a few hours, then drain it again, but at 50 gallons, I would go broke doing that!
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
