Re: Hydraulic steering fluid v vegetable oil in steering.
Before too many of you throw ya toys out the pram go and look at who threw snide remarks first.
Look back and see how many snide remarks were on the topic and you might see why i posted some back.
Now yes i have looked into what the oil is and yes i have come up with an alternative oil that is the same stuff.
And has for leave snide remarks on this side of the pond maybe the snide remarks came from that side first.
but i suppose you just call it friendly fire as usual.
Now many people have and do post alternative things to use and some thing are not common knowledge or there
wouldnt be a forum in the first place.
It seems that unless its made in the good old usa it wont work !!!!!!!!! well sorry to **** on your cornflakes but the
usa have not exactly been in the forefront of most inventions throughout history.
Yes they make a lot of goodies cheaply,but often just brand names for something a lot cheaper elsewhere.
Now if you all go and look deep into what vegetable is and what its used for and what it is called by many different
compaines you might get a shock.
I dont expect it to be used much in the woods or mobile homes as we all know you eat your meat rare and still mooing.
Local hydraulics fluid company has told me that if i use straight vegetable oil(canola) i should get about 5 years then possibley
need new seals as it would take a long time to break up the nitril seals.
look at what the usa company called catterpillar use , on farmland machinery....guess what they use ???????????
The company also says that due to it not being under extreme pressure as in a powered steering system i probably
wouldnt notice any different effects than using h5606 oil,
By the way 5606 is the same stuff in the planes and in citroen and roll royce cars and the hydrolastic suspension in
the old austin mine cars with green dye for cars red dye for planes.
Now if you dont like snide remarks back then dont give them out, over here we can dish out a lot more than we can take.
look at the posts above
frank acompora words "snotty and superior " well if he thinks im superior then fine,snotty ha ha.
Bubba , ill let him off as it will take far too long to explain to him whats going on.
Bondo, lets not forget big mouth. who asked him his personal advice ? i didnt.
this forum has thousands of answers to things that are NOT common knowledge, the whole internet is for people to
find out more knowledge.
Just because a manufacture reccomends aproduct dont mean we have to use the product they tell us too.
That is one sure way to get your pockets burned.
Does everyone on here stick to buying oem parts for the boats and engines, do they all only use the
engine reccomended by the boat maker.
How many different things on this forum are used as substitues that would of never been know or heard of before.
This forum has shown many things to be the same stuff under different brand names even, that some guys in
the business for over 20 years have neve heard of.
so dont knock anyone who tries something else just because you have not heard of it.
we would all still be sinking our teethe into wild animals for food if we all thought like that (Bubba's excluded).
now go enjoy paying through the nose for oil, im off to buy a gallon at a tenth of the price.
cant tell what it is or youl think im taking the **** again.
and we have another saying in the uk that you might like.........They dont like it up em
