I suppose it's the same with the oil you use in your car, etc.
I've used Hytran because that's what was suggested by others but I'm also not emotionally tied to an oil. If the TSC stuff will do the job and it has the history to validate it,,,,why wouldn't we use it?
I know I just paid $23 a gallon for Hytran an I have no idea if it's the same stuff that came in my 1864 when it was new, or my 127 or my 149, etc.
I'm really not overly concerned about paying just over $50 for a hydro service with a new filter every so many years....BUT, it would be good to know that the TSC hydro fluid is just as good for a lot less money, sort of like taking generic drugs, they're all supposed to be the same chemically.
I guess all this is leading to my actual question....
If the TSC is the same chemically, why shouldn't I use it. No I haven't been through all those links and I'll probably be told to do so. I just thought I would ask from a non-emotional, just the facts Jack, point of view...For you older members, just like Joe Friday would have said.
