I know another guy who changes the oil in his hydraulics. Put oil in a special barrel with a drain a few inches off the bottom of barrel. He lets his oil sit for a long time, so the dirty particles settles to bottom. Then he uses the oil from barrel next time he changes hydraulic oil. Another redneck idea.[/quote]
Geo, Just to let you know how old I am.....My Dad had a '52 DeSoto (little Hemi V-8) that he drove about 90 miles round trip to work every day.
He changed the oil regularly and saved it in one gallon clear glass jugs.
Now....this was before the modern "high detergent" oils and like the hydraulic fluid, after a few months the contaminants would settle to the bottom leaving a nice maple syrup colored oil which we used in our little walk behind garden tractor Briggs engine, oil cans etc. We never reused it in a car engine.
I have "high detergent" oil now sitting in my shop for several years and it never "settles out".
