Default Re: Hydraulic oil for models - what's in it?

Just be careful with ATF fluid, it can and will ruin seals and ruber lines if they are not compatible. ATF causes rubber to swell up, which is why some guys will put a bit of atf in their engine oil or hyd system as a quick fix for a slow leak, but over time it will cause the leak to get much worse.

IF the hyd system components are all rated for ATF then yes by all means it will work just fine.
