Therefore, I would go with the ISO That said, lots of guys do use THF in their machines. Heck, my old machine calls for 10w30 in the manual. Hey Philosaw - I read back through the posts, and I didn't see what model your machine is. Is it the T you have posted about in the past? We Accept Donations! The SkidSteer Forum. Before they left I asked the parts guy if I could use a substitute oil for the Bobcat brand hydraulic oil and he replied that I definitely could and that it was simply an ISO 46 tractor hydraulic fluid.
So, I went to our Chevron dealer and was told that iso 46 and tractor hydraulic fluid are two different animals entirely and that he personally uses Chevron's THF in his Bobcat. My question is which is the correct oil to use, an iso 46 hydraulic oil, or a tractor hydraulic fluid Chevron THF ? Love to hear some more opinions. If I have my conversion right, 46 is like a 30 weight. I was always told Bobcat fluid is close to a 20 weight.
At work we use 10w30 with no problems. After reading your responses, I decided to see if I could find anything on what the heck an iso designation is. I ran across a pretty good article that leaving aside the engineering mumbo-jumbo, was pretty helpful. I went to the Chevron website and looked up their tractor hydraulic fluid THF specs and found that it has a viscosity in the high sae 20 range and the iso 46 is in the low sae 20 range.
The next thing I need to find out is if the Bobcat fluid is indeed an iso It also seems, from reading the chevron page, that their THF would work fine, but may be a little overkill. It's main advantage to me is that I already use it in my other machinery. The disadvantage is that I would need to drain out the fluid already in my Bobcat before adding it. I think?
