Hi,

Total hydrostatic newbie here.

I just bought a Litefoot snowcat with Sauer Series 90 pump and Volvo F11 motors. This is a low hour snowcat (1042 hours), with Chevron AW 32 being put in it about 30 hours ago. The problem is, that was five+ years ago.

So my question is, does this fluid degrade over time, despite having very low hours on it?

And, in your opinion, is Chevron AW 32 a good fluid to use with these pumps/motors?

Thanks in advance.
