Avant 520 hydraulic oil

[MattyF]

Does any one know how many litres it holds and best viscosity ?

Fancy doing a filter change tomorrow and can’t find anything on line!

Shell tellus 46 hydraulic oil, but its been superseded to shell tellus s2 mx46, page 6 item 6 in spec sheet below. Oil capacity suggests 30L on page 22 section 6

If you cross reference to mobil dte 10 excel 46 which is the equivalent, its still more expensive than shell. How often will you be changing the oil? Might be worth buying 60L to reduce your cost and storing 30L for next time. I’ll keep digging.

Any 46 hydraulic oil will do. All is says is not to use synthetic oil.

Can only find it in 20litre containers .. will just keep 10 litres spare for next time, just cost a small fortune in other spares but worth keeping in tip top condition!

As Jonny69 states mattyf, any 46 hyd oil will do. Just up to you if you want to stray away from oem specs. I’m a bit anal with stuff like this and prefer to stay with recommended.
