The Parker manual doesn't specify 5606, that's why I ask. The manual s= pecifies "ATF, OD18, or other clean hydraulic oil with a viscosity of 150-3= 00 SUS at 38C", if another type is used "consult the factory"

The label on Phillips 5606 states that it is not to be used on natural= rubber. And the MIL-SPEC viscosity is outside of the Parker manual's recom= mendation.

Two votes for 5606 from the List so far.  Anyone have experience = with another fluid?

Does anyone know if this fluid is suitable?
 
Can someone recommend an inexpensive, automotive f= luid that has proven effective?
 
Much appreciated
