Hydraulic oil change
Anyone changed their Hydraulic jack oil? Also I need to check the oil level. First, how would you change the fluid? Right now I need to top off the fluid, but, can't find a small bottle of AW 46. 2011 Monaco Knight.

Sometimes hydraulic oil is ATF, some is Brake fluid and some is special; reservoir can be emptied by turkey baster w/ silicone bulb, (OR) by pumping after removing far end of a hose; and changing is not a bad idea as it ages, especially if it was brake fluid (which absorbs moisture from the air, yes, even in a sealed system)

On ours, it uses ATF. I just changed the filters and topped it back off. The fluid looked and smelled fine, so I didn't change it all out.

Whats AW 46?
Mine uses ATF, Mercon V it says on the tag. Seems to me this fluid in these jacks would last a long time, hardly any use, unless, you see moisture in it.
