UDT for bottle jack?

[czechsonofagun]

I scored bottle jack at the pile of scrap metal, all it needed was to top the oil up, haha.

Anyway, I did not have enough oil for it so I used Kubota UDT, likely overkill

What do you think?

I don't see why it shouldn't work. It is good non foaming fluid. Might be a bit pricey, but you don't need much of it.

heck.. I got a floor jack someone left at the DUMP.. said it would not make pressure. I put an oring in it from a multi kit and filled it with gear oil. that was 20 ys ago and it still works fine!

I thought so. Yep, "when you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk".. No truer words ever spoken.:thumbsup:

I think just about any sort of oil would work. Motor oil, PS fluid, shock oil etc. Bottle jack is a pretty low-tech thing.

Agreed.. Cooking oil, etc..
