One of hydro lines loosened up. Need to add some fluid. What do I use? Real SnoWay stuff in there right now. Do I have to go back to the dealer to get some "real" stuff? It is what I do when I change it. Anything I can mix safely?

Thanks....

Taboky,

Mixing oils is generally not a good idea. I would recommend getting more of what is in the power unit now or drain and refill with something else if you need to.

come on Toby4492 be forceful.:wink

DON"T MIX ANY FLUID, dissimaliar fluids will gell up in a heartbeat, you're better off running low then mixing fluids. If you're not going to use SW fluid drain the entire system inculding rams and flush before refilling.

Works but you need to flush all the old fluid regardles of what you use if you use anything other then what already in it.
