Trim Tab fluid
 

All

I have a Baja that has IntraTrim leveling tabs. I need to add some fluid but InstaTrim wants $18.95 per PINT - that is PINT for some biodegradable fluid. That's insane - I don't care if it is biodegradable or not.

So has anyone used anything thing else instead of this overpriced snake oil they are selling?

Transmission fluid

I use 500 hydraulic fluid.

89Mach1 - Seriously, tranny fluid - have you successfully mixed it with the crap that is in there without fear of separation or damage?

Capt2130 - what exactly is 500 Hydraulic fluid? Can I get it at Napa or AutoZone? Have you mixed it with the OEM stuff without issue?

I have tranny fluid in mine. Try to flush out all the old fluid so not to have 2 types of fluid. Might even remove the tank and flush it out too.

I use it in all my hydraulic machine equipment. press brakes, pines benders, etc. I get it from one of my oil suppliers. You may try any farm equiment supply company if you dont have access to a oil supply company.

When I installed my pumps they were empty. But I would drain the old before I added anything new. Unless it is the same product.

Seriously- Yep. When I installed my tabs that's exactly what I used, and I'm sure many others on here have cause I read it on here. Granted they were new lines and a used pump that was empty, but yep, seriously.

mine had ATF when I got it...
