I use ATF. It could be any flavor because the pump and booster are not fussy.
Mobil 1 or Valvoline Max Life are good to use.

I believe typ4 was using some wet/dry clutch/brake tractor hydraulic fluid.
Sounds better than ATF, IMO.

Bleeds IH red...
And it acts like power steering/atf? Not any thicker, or cause hard steering?

It's the same viscosity as trans fluid and smells about the same.
Expensive though.

I'd encourage you to remove the Fbomb from your post before it's done for you. Not something that goes over well here at all.

Admins should step into the 21st century and add an automatic censor if they don't want users swearing.
Kinda funny how people cry so much over a simple 4 letter word.

Just an excerpt from the rules.
Refrain from using profanity or cr3ative spell1ng to get around the censor filters.

There was no creative spelling, it was spelled out. So obviously the filter doesn't work very well. Lol

Hitran would be fine if you want to pay the high price. I'd just use any kind of trans or hydraulic fluid. I've also heard of people running full syn 0w20 in power steering systems.
I'd run dexron2 in it since that's what the trans takes and you'd have extra for trans OR steering if you carry a couple quarts around.

The point,although not spelled out in the rules, is that swearing does nothing to impart information, the primary function of these forums. Profanity also sends a message to possible sponsors that we don't care how people act when on the forums. No sponsors= no Oilburners (possibly).
I understood and even respect your use of the deleted word to emphasize the costly nature of the oil, but how we speak in person is far different than how our words are perceived on the interwebs. Try using your typing time to create words or phrases that (a) will not alert the censors and (b) get your point across without insulting anyone (I like to try for funny). I'm not a moderator (I have had some posts removed for swearing - I didn't realize what I had done), just a forum associate who wants to be helpful. Sorry if I seem nosy.
If you really like typing profanity, there is a section for that. Just ask for access to the refinery. It is an adults only area.
Back to the oil - I'm probably going to use turbine oil because my machines use it and I have about 40 spare gallons of the stuff. First I need to install the hydroboost setup.

Its not fussy. You can use any fluid. The old days It was Type F. You can use that or any of the newer rated fluids.

I don't "like"typing profanity, I just don't like being told I can't when I actually decide to. I'm on a few lightly moderated forums where pretty much anything goes and that carries over onto others.
Refinery sounds interesting. One of the mods can add me if they read this.
We have totally derailed this thread over one little word...
What is turbine oil? Makes me think some kind aircraft hydraulic fluid, I know that's nasty stuff.

It is mostly refined hydraulic fluid, but has some lubricity qualities. It is specified for a couple of my NC machines to run the hydraulic systems. On the barrel, it says, "Turbine Oil, R&O 150, ISO VG 32." Don't know much about the standards met, but it works well for the machines under pressure all day long, I would presume it would be just fine for power steering.
