Has anyone ever tried this stuff in a lawn mower hydro. Lawnmowers don't use hydraulic fluid they use conventional engine oil mostly 20W-50 high zinc engine oil. I have an old xxw2500 72 inch cut Dixie Chopper and I am going to try it in it and see what it does.

How about a high mileage 20W50?
Yes Lucas that is what Dixie Chopper runs in their hydros in the pump and wheel motor units. Sorry not a Castrol man. Do you run that in lawn mowers. It is an additive to boost the oil reduce wear and help the performance of the hydros.
I haven’t tried 20W50 Lucas Hot Rod and Classic Car oil in my hydros. It looks like a very stout oil. I may give it a try next time around. Mobil 1 15W50 or Valvoline VR-1 20W50 are usually what I use.Yes Lucas that is what Dixie Chopper runs in their hydros in the pump and wheel motor units. Sorry not a Castrol man.

I'm sure any of the afor mentioned will work fine in most hydros. Have a friend who runs mobil one in his old 1997 xw2500 Dixie Chopper with a Kohler engine CV25 said a few years ago he figured he had 8,000 hours on it and still running strong.
Wow! It must be very well maintained.I'm sure any of the afor mentioned will work fine in most hydros. Have a friend who runs mobil one in his old 1997 xw2500 Dixie Chopper with a Kohler engine CV25 said a few years ago he figured he had 8,000 hours on it and still running strong.
