Rusty_OToole Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) They are supposed to use Knee Action Fluid, this has not been made in years, the best substitute is Hydraulic Jack Oil, you can get it at any auto parts store. For the engine use any good brand of 10W30 that contains zinc. Or use zinc additive. Oils made for diesel engines still contain zinc.
