What does detergents do to your pumps cause some of my friends put any kind of motor oil as long is 10-30.
most people who use motor oil don't use a 10-30
they use a straight 30 or even 40 non-detergent, Chalet has these.
atf oil has no detergents, inhibitors or additives, your forklift hyrdro fluids are based on atf chemistry, but they vary in viscosities.
atf-3 costs more but its better in the long wrong because its superior lubricator and keeps your hydros seals wet.
atf-3 is also better because when you hit your hydros, there's a dry period, with 30 oil, it takes awhile to move and lubricate critical parts with heavy friction.
atf gets through easier.
i would suggest you pm the homie bouncing 89 mercury who posted here earlier for some more info.
