Hydralic Oil for CK30hst

[VictorW]

Needed to add hydralic oil to my ck30hst. The manual has three brands of oil but can't find them where I live. I can't find a spec number from the manufacture for the oil so I can match it up to another brand. Does anyone know the spec number or what do other owner's use?

Just use a good UTF "univeral tractor fluid" something that is rated for transmission/hydraulics.

I use the travellers brand from TSC.

I recommend you use Warren hydraulic fluid AW46 or AW68, both are excellent and have anti foaming agents.
Available at these and other stores:
Agri Supply, Winn Dixie, Food, Lion, Piggly Wiggly, Family Dollar, Do It Best Hardware Stores.

Thanks to all for the advice. The various brands I looked at say their oil is good for many manufactures and give the spec number it meets per manufacture. I guess Kioti is still to new to get listed on their product label and nobody had a reference book. I didn't want to add the wrong spec fluid and then end up changing it all or have something go wrong.

In this small town, we only have o'reilly 303 tractor fluid. Say's nothing about transmition fluid. Say's recommened as replacement where a tractor hydraulic is called for.

Will this work?

If that's what it says, I don't see why not.

Personally, I'd only add a fluid that was rated UTF. I wouldn’t take the chance with my Ck20 and certainly not your Ck30. Unless you can get a definitive answer from the manufacturer (oil or tractor) I'd error on the side of caution and not use it.

303 is just fine. I just changed mine out to 303. It meets all the specs. John
