Speakking of Steering Boxes . . .
I cannot imagine why synthetic 10w30 would not work, BUT I did not write the spec.
Here are filter numbers I have;
Parker Cannister filter-(about 18" long in line street side)
Parker 925835
Donaldson P170073
BB 2122026

Reservoir filters(3 each)With original 10w30 sticker on top.
Nelson 83284D
Donaldson P550698
BB 2137065
I would think your application is the same but verify with Jesse in no manual in hand.

Leroy,



Wish I had a manual!



Still waiting for a call back from Jessie @ BB.



Checking on the 4TH FILTER.



Do you think that 10w30 synthetic oil would be a problem in lieu of

regular dino drippings:}

so that is what I use. That is not to say that others do not have

other compatible oil options. Along with the three filters in the

reservoir is a Parker filter in line on the street side of my coach

that has a warning light on it up by the rear start switch which

tells the owner if it is in bypass or plugged. That filter is about

$100.
