hydraulic oil

[reom35a2fluiter]

to a lot of information gathered to talk about oil, I encountered something different now.
a comrade working in a transsports company as a mechanic. This can liters of hydraulic oil get.
can a deuce and a half on a 50/50 mix driving. 50% diesel and 50% hydraulic oil??
can the injection pump well lubricated.

I ran 8 tank loads of new Hydraulic oil we had at work that was from a truck that we sold. I added about 1 gallon of 2 stroke oil to it and my truck loved it!!

What number though? The higher the number the thicker it is. I would suspect you would be okay at less than 65 or so, even that is kinda thick.

I ran 55 wt oil. I also mixed it with transformer oil (NON PCB) at the end. It was about the same as diesel. I only ran it in the summer.

I've run filtered used hydraulic oil from a forklift service company. 50/50 mix to straight Hydraulic oil depending on the weather.
My trucks love it.

Hydraulic oil works good!

hydraulic oil can be very thin then.
itself, I think you are just hydraulic oil can be operated without problems.
hydraulic oil is already a good lubricant to lubricate the injection pump. then you just on a 50/50 mix drive I guess ...

what do you mean with transformer oil???
is that thicker oil for in the hydraulic oil in order to mix?
can you not drive in the winter on hydraulic oil???

there is also iron particles in hydraulic oil in case?
certainly be mixed with diesel.?
why is it dependent on the weather??

when will I know if the hydraulics thick enough then?

Maybe you can get a viscosity measuring device and test it compared to Diesel.

you can build your own...like the viscosity funnels for paint. a plastic bottle, drill a small hole and take the time for 1ltr. you don't get exact numbers , but you can easy compare to other fluids...
