+20°F (–7°C) JLG recommends using hydraulic premium fluid. Aside from JLG recommendations, it is not advisable to mix oils of different brands or types, as they may not contain the same required additives or be of comparable viscosities. If use of hydraulic oil other than standard UTTO is desired, contact JLG Industries for proper recommendations.
