I worked on my power steering many years ago and did not make note which oil I used. I think I put hydraulic oil but not sure, well I blew a hose I don't think there is much oil left in the system, I would like to use 15-40 this time, question will it hurt to mix the hyd. and motor oil. I don't think there is much oil in the system and I really do not want to try and drain it all out if possible. I have taken a sample to several people and no one call tell me what it is.
You didn't tell us if is was Ross or Shepherd...but either way if you get an answer...I too would like to know ;)

Hi busnut104,
What kind of fluid did you decide to use for this? I didn't catch what kind of bus you have. If you are still deciding, maybe you could post what kind of bus you have & the year as someone may have 'da book' on that model to give you your answer.
akbusguy2000, nice reference - thanks for posting!!
Kind Regards, Phil
I took a glass jar and mixed some hyd oil and 15 - 40 and I let it set for sever hours and it seamed fine and did not seperate, so I filled it with 15-40, I guess only time will tell.
Interesting oil test. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for posting the follow up busnut104.
Best Regards, Phil
