No specific brands of oil are recommended. Use only products qualified under the following oil
viscosity specifications and classification recommended by reputable oil companies.
Hydraulic System
Use premium quality lubricants with 100-200 SUS or 20-43 cSt viscosity at operating temperatures� The
hydraulic fluid’s specifications in the table below are for normal operating conditions. Extreme environments
or dirty conditions may require the use of different oils� Consult your New Leader dealer or the Product
Support Department at Highway Equipment Company for systems operating outside normal conditions�
Ideal Oil Operating Temperature 115-158°F (46.11-70° C)
