[QUOTE="kjones, post: 528068, member: 4533"] I worked as a journeyman lubrication mechanic for 10 years in a pulp mill. I serviced and maintained hydraulic systems ranging from 5 gallons to 800 gallons. The sizes were different but the design basics were the same. They all have control valves. Those valves have very small passaged for the oil to pass through so keeping it clean is important. Filtration is probably the most important thing to remember. If you are dealing with a large system it is cheaper to sample the oil for analysis. This will not only tell you if the oil needs to be changed or not, but also what is happening in the whole system. Shuch as a cylinder piston going bad or a pump starting to fail. If taken care of the oil can last a long time. We had systems with oil in use for years. [/QUOTE]
