    Any lithium-base commercial multipurpose grease may be used. Hydraulic Oil All Labrie hydraulic systems are filled at the factory with a high-quality anti-wear hydraulic fluid meeting an ISO 32 specification. On vehicles that are used in high ambient temperatures or that sustain high duty cycles, it may be desirable to change the fluid to an ISO 46 specification which has higher viscosity.
