[mykubota4x4]

Hello All
Just bought a used 2006 Bobcat 463 skidsteer, dont have any manual wonder what hydraulic oil to be used. Is it AW32.?
I remember buying hyd oil from bobcat for my mini ex 324, the can doesnt specify anything except the name hydraulic oil.
Any inputs appreciated.

I have a 773, bobcat told me aw46, and I have used it problem free for 6 or 7 years. I don't think the recommendation was official though.

Upon more reading i find in heavyequip forum that AW32 is a good one as well never given problems for those folks over a decade.

Yup, they are just viscosities I believe 32 is 10 46 is 20. I run more in the heat than the cold, so little thicker with 46. Leaks a little slower also

Stay on the filters, if you use a lot of attachments, you can sometimes pick up cooties. They are good tough machines, have fun with it, and stay on the maintenance.

guaranteed not to bust, rust, or collect dust.
