Scissor lift question...

[Digby]

Just picked up a lightly used set of these which have been kept in good condition by the original and only owner, but he said he would probably change the oil in them as he recently had new seals installed (preventive maintenance) and suggested a good grade 32 oil. Does anyone have a set of these or similar and could tell me what a "good" grade 32 oil is? In fact, is it even worth changing it?

They are the Automotech AS-7530D model if that helps.


Thanks in advance.

How long have you used that in your lift?

Thanks all. I realised it gives you an idea of what to go for in the owners manual!

I stuck with an ISO 6743/4 oil as it suggested with decent anti-oxidation, corrosion, wear and foaming properties. I have no idea how many are ISO 6743, mind. Perhaps they all are but don't advertise the fact.

Anyway, this stuff...
