I think they make the aircraft oil red because it goes in the
brakes so that when it is checked it can be seen to be the right
stuff. Don't you need almost 4 quarts of oil to completely
replace all the oil in the system?
The transmission is bad so I haven't had a chance to drive it
yet to
be a problem with
over adjustment of the rack damper bolt. I'll check that when I
do the linkage check.

Buy the right stuff from Rusty! it is much less expensive than
MIL-5606 is generally a safe substitute for ZH-M, CHF, and other
mineral oils like that. It does tend to have a slightly different
viscosity, which could have long term effects. In an emergency,
lightweight motor oil is better than running the system dry. Just
NEVER use

hyd fluid is usually a little thinner and not quite as dark as blood.)

My question today is; What exact oil should I be using in the

So looking around I find all kinds of
MB sells the proper stuff in blue liter bottles, you can get it from our
various suppliers. Not cheap, but it is something you do like every 10

Buy the proper stuff at the dealer or from Rusty (or PeachParts or
wherever). Do NOT substitute anything else, way too expensive if it
is incompatible with something.
I do not think it is plain 10W hydraulic oil

Odd you should mention Rusty. I checked the site but couldn't
find any oil listed. I see that Rusty thinks it's a good idea to
check with him. I could of course wish he thought it was good
enough to list it but since I am unable to think of everything,
why
Buy the right stuff from Rusty! it is much less expensive than
buying new tandem pump and new rear struts. He will have it to you
in a couple of days.
While you are at it, you might want to change the low pressure hose
from the tank to the pump, unless you already did it recently.

Rusty? Who Dat?
