HI I have a MF711 skid loader which requires 26 gallons and I need to replace the oil. does is it allright to mix different ISO numbers as my source doesn"t carry enough of one kind Thanks DON

While I can't say one way or the other, I do know that people have reported problems using the R&O style fluid in equipment that calls for the Universal (i.e. Hytran/Hygard) style fluid.

He's not much of a supplier if he doesn't have 6 pails of one type of hydraulic oil in stock, or a 30-gallon drum.

Find a different supplier, or wait until he restocks. I have yet to go into a Tractor Supply that didn't have a whole pallet of the Univeral fluid sitting in the store, and another out back.

If he doesn't have enough, find another place or tell him to order enough and give you a call when it's in.

Iso 32/46/68 all come in the R&O grade. The R&O is not for Hytran systems.

I mixed hydraulic oil from 2 different makers once and got foaming problems. Either one was fine by itself, so I wouldn't take a chance by mixing them.
