Electric Wood Splitter Hydraulic Oil...help please.

[MagdalenaP]

Ryobi wood splitter has low oil, manual calls for:

Shell Tellus 22
Mobil DTE 11
ARAL Vitam GF 22
BP Energol HLP-HM 22
And I can't find any of these brands, in store or online. I have no clue about the "numbers" of how oil works. Help please?

Call the customer support number on the Manual. They should be able to tell where to get the oil, and or what the curren oil type that will work is. These things change over time. So while Tellus 22 is what is in the manual Tellus 32 might be ok etc

That's just a list of all the common ISO 22 hydraulic oils on the market. Any ISO 22 hydro oil should work.

If you use this in very cold weather, it might be worth seeing if your manual allows for substitution of ATF, instead of ISO 22 hydro oil.

Atf should work fine as well as any light weight hydraulic oil.

My electric splitter calls for Dex VI transmission fluid.

If you use it outside in the cold replace the fluid with synthetic ATF.
Otherwise any light oil will do including ATF
