But here's a fact.... Quality equipment that is installed properly will not leak. Poeple will run different oils for differnt reasons. But mostly cuz they dont know that R&O antiwear is the right oil for the type of pumps we use. Leaks are an installation and maintenance issue. Using thicker oil is an easy way out. All liquid in a confined space will not compress.Even water. So the ride has nothing to do with it. That may be because you've got air in the lines or accums and the thicker oil moves slower through the lines or accum valves.Do'nt mean to sound like I'm arguing but the bottom line is R&O is the right oil.Originally posted by Pimpin19@Aug 20 2005, 09:01 PM~3663130
I beleive that is true SERIOUSHYDROS, but then again if U use thinner oil such as Hydrauic fluid U may be more prone to getting leaks around fittings and the check valve. I only say this cause I was running tranny fluid for a few weeks, but thats another storie, also a bad Idea, and started to see a few leaks but then changed it back to NAPA Non-deturgent 30 weight a few days ago and havent seen any leaks and I think it may even be a little smoother of a ride.
yep the aw 32 is to thin in my opinionOriginally posted by Big Baller 82cutty@Aug 20 2005, 11:00 PM~3664210
I use AW 46 hydraulic oil from NAPA
