Thankyou   David Gore Moderator Username: david_gore Post Number: 788 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Wednesday, 19 March, 2008 - 08:02:    Rodney, The mechanism is a simple hydraulic pump and ram system and any non-glycol hydraulic fluid will be fine. I used Dexron automatic transmission fluid for DRH14434. Power steering fluid is another alternative.   Rodney Peach Experienced User Username: rodney Post Number: 45 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Wednesday, 19 March, 2008 - 16:01:    Hi David, Oh O.K. fine I can use the auto transmission fluid then Castrol dexron TQ which I use,mine is DRH16012 .
