Power Steering and Hydraulic Engine Cooling Fan

[Jay Darst]

Curt,
I change my hydraulic oil every 20,000 miles including the 3 (there
are 3 in my '85 anyway) filters
inside the tank and the external filter. The external filter is
about $85 and the internal filters are about $8 ea(there are 3 of
them).

Change the engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles. If the change is
procrastenated beyond 5,000 miles, it'll start using a quart in
1,000 miles. If changed in 5,000 miles maybe use 1 or 2 quarts
depending on use, high speed or hot temps will cause slightly more
useage.
