Dean, You advice may be the best advice if I didn't run in to conflicting information from terramite. On tractor sticker says change hyd oil every 300 hrs. Found a terramite manual says change it every 250 hrs. One place says use 10w40. Found another place that says use 15w40 when temps are about 40. Still another place says use 15w40 when temps are above 32. One manual says hyd holds 5 gallons. Another place says only the tank is 5 gallons, 7 gallons total. What is a person to think? I just changed oil with 10w40 motor oil, 5 gallons, so for the rest of the winter I'll use it. Then in spring change to a good 15w40. The problem is I will still have some of the old stinky oil left behind. Now 5 new gallons was added to 2 stinky gallons. That means I'll always have 2 gallons of old oil left behind. Will take many 5 gallon oil changes to purge out most of the old stuff. I may try extending the boom and bucket. Drain the oil, then let gravity lower boom and bucket, see if I can't get more of the oil out of system.
