Hello Kelly,


Here is Ed's Post:


        

I replaced the old hydraulic fluid with a fairly new formulation of brake fluid made for the military to lower the fire hazards in aircraft. It is generally referred to by its military specification number MIL-H-83282A it is compatible with aircraft brake seals and the old fluid MIL-H-5606G so you can simply drain the old and pour in the new. 


However, I could not find it in quantities of less than 1 gallon, so you might want to go in with a few of your flying buddies. Its not that expensive running around $18.00 per gallon and a gallon will last me decades of flying time 

Here is where I ordered mine from 

http://commerce.lubes.com/ 

click Hydraulic Fluids on the menu to the left and you should see 

Royco 782-1GL

Anderol 

MIL-PRF-83282

Hydraulic Fluid, 1 Gallon


$18.00 


Best Regards 

Ed
