2000intow Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I used to run snow dogg blue plow oil in my 2003 jerr-dan bed all year round because it performed good in subzero temperatures. Has anyone else tried this in newer equipment (or at all)? I bought my 2017 brand new and am about to do a hydraulic oil change in it for the first time since it was built and am contemplating making the switch?

dperone Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 My pump would get louder the colder it got. I took it to a hydraulic shop and they suggested changing the fluid to ATF. It's been running ATF year round for a decade or so with no issues, and it doesn't get slow in the winter like our other trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwacker Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I also run ATF, I just buy 5 gallon buckets of cheap dex/merc ATF.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
