hyd fluid in hydro assist????

[1-tonmudder]

I'm redoin my hydro-assist before we go to Harlan next week and I'm putting a bigger cooler and a bigger res on trying to head off some overheating issues.I've been looking for some synthetic ps fluid and can't seem to find any at the local chain stores so what about runnin hyd fluid???? I'm running hydro-boost as well and was wondering if it would affect it.I'm assuming that in colder temps the hyd fluid would be slower to circulate and result in slow steering until it got warmed up.

atf works fine as long as you can keep it cool. or mix it 50/50 to make the hyd oil thiner. lucas oil also makes a good product.

If you have a bigger cooler then I would run regular powersteering fluid of ATF. Straight Hydraulic oil is to thick. It will be worse in colder temps.

I use amsoil hydraulic tractor transmission fluid in mine. Just swapping to it instantly cured my problems. There's a thread on pirate about red bull team using it too. Not sure, but I think it would work fine with hydro-assist also.

There are different weight hydraulic oils. If that's what you want to run you may want to check into that.
