Mohawk A7 hydraulic fluid.

[wolverine22391]

So I recently purchased a 23 year old Mohawk A7 lift, and very happy with it. The fluid it uses is AW32, and I can't seem to find in locally. I was wondering if any of you mohawk users have found a alternative. I do not want to have to purchase on line, and would want something cold friendly. This lift is a great upgrade from jacks. Thanks for the help Andrew.

Have you checked your favorite local hydralics shop ? How about your local tractor supply I pretty sure aw32 is really common.

I Bought aw32 at HomeDepot.

I have checked at tractor supply, and rural king no luck. I will check and see if local hydraulic shop has some. I also want to know if you guys have any alternatives to the aw32.

Yeah, they should definitely have it at home depot. I just bought a couple 1 gallon jugs there recently

Napa and Carquest both carry it around here. You can also get it at shops that sell any kind of pumps, wood splitters, pressure washers, etc.

Just bought some for my lift install and it was $45 for 5 gallons.

Ayuh,.... Tractor transmission/ hyd. oil is the same stuff,....

'bout Any 10W oil is just Fine,....
10W motor oil,....
ATF,....

Not exactly the same but it would work, they carry regular hyd oil at the farm store usually.

Thank you guys for the help I did find some at home depo. Just another question is there a better product that is synthetic that could be used in the place of the aw32. Some of these brands just look sketchy, I just want a quality fluid.

Very common. Auto parts stores stock it by me

I've got regular ATF in my A7 for years with no problems.

Ayuh,..... Don't over think it,....

It's the simplest of hyd. systems, it just needs clean light oil,...

Spend yer money elsewhere,.....

I wouldn't. Probably start leaking with synthetic.

When I bought my used Mohawk I called them and was told to ATF. Been working fine.

 

[wolverine22391]

Thank you guys, and I guess I was just overthinking it. I was just trying too see if there more options, and I was able to find some. Thank you guys again for the help.
