Carrier hydraulic oil RSS05R, RSS08R, RSS11R, RSS15R, RSS23R, RSS34R, RSS45R, RSS58R, RSS80R 2. CARRIER HYDRAULIC OIL 2.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR HYDRAULIC OIL GENERAL REQUIREMENTS In general, the hydraulic oil originally intended for the carrier can be used with this product. However, since working with the product heats the oil more than with the usual excavation work, the temperature of the oil must be monitored.
