Hi there,
I got a log splitter the other day and notice that it seems to struggle a bit when the temps dip down into the teens and single digits (Fahrenheit). It calls for ISO 22 hydraulic oil and specifically mentions Mobil DTE 11 and Shell Telus 22 (neither of which appear to be available locally). However, I have no doubt that the factory fill is whatever the lowest bidder supplied FOB China. I was hoping for some sage advice on a good replacement oil that has a low enough pour point that I'm not SOL when the temps dip down. Something available by the gallon and carried by the likes of TractorSupply or even Amazon would be even better.
Best,
FG
