I found something I didn't know. On the back of my hoe, it says change hyd oil every 300 hrs with 10w40, engine every 100 hrs. The manual you posted on page 7 says change hyd every 250 hours and use 15w40. IN BIG BOLD PRINT, IT SAYS DO NOT USE HYDRAULIC OIL. I've been using what is printed on the back plate of terramite, 10w40.
Terramite has changed hours and oil a little. That said, I plan to change my oil and filter more often. Really think my problem is oil breaking down which then may cause temps to go up. Now I may be looking at pump damage, which in turn may be the reason the oil smell burnt and is turning black.
Same with engine. I can go 60 hours, oil looks clean on dipstick, hasn't used a drop. At 75 hours oil is breaking down, turned black and is down a tick on stick. That's when I change engine oil.
I think I may change hyd oil every other engine oil change and see what happens.
Hope motor oil comes down in price. I watch for sales, buy a good brand when price drops below $2.
My hyd shop on recommends I use ISO 40 hyd oil. So, who do I believe, hyd shop or Terramite?
I will be talking to the owner of the hyd repair shop and pick his brain about a cooler.
