I've got one of the Woodeez 4-ton electric splitters and it's about time to change the hydrolic oil. I understand this stuff is pretty standard for gas splitters, but wondering if there's any difference I should worry about with an electric since the motor runs so much cooler.
The manual specifies 4 specific oils "or the equivalent," but doesn't say what the characteristics of them are that I should look for the equivalent of. And I can't get my hands on any of them around here. My mechanic down the road doesn't know, either.
So is this the same as for a gas splitter-- any good quality tractor-grade hydaulic oil is good? (That's easy-peasy to get out here in farm country.)
FYI, the four oils the manual specifies are Shell Tellus 22, Mobil DTE11, ARAL Vitam GF 22, and BP Energol HLP-HM 22.
