BogMonster Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Google has failed to educate me, I need to top up (and probably change) the oil on my Ifor tipper as some of it has mysteriously disappeared. So far I see a suggestion that 10w40 engine oil is OK, and another that a 32 weight hydraulic oil is fine. I can't see anything that actually specifies what is in it from the factory. Anybody know?

Happyoldgit Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Is this for the manual pump tip type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwakers Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 SUTO would be my choice, mostly because there's a ton of it around and i can usually cadge some for nowt (SuperUniversalTractorOil) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric TT3621 - now been told that a 32 hydraulic oil is the thing to use. Manual may be the same - mine has the manual lever but tried it today and by heck it's slow!

mickeyw Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I'd give IWT a call. I've found their tech guys pretty helpful in the past. https://www.iwt.co.uk/customer-care/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 10W40 will be quite thick, I'd go with hydraulic (26/32/36) or ATF if in urgent need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 32 is a LOT thinner than 10w40, I'd go with the recommended.... not that expensive from any hydraulics place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Not expensive but ... currently ... unavailable ... from anywhere. Oh well, I didn't need to tip anything at the moment anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 ATF will do nicely then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
