Scissor lift - ATF

[Ndx]

Hi Guys,

I have a scissor lift, manufacturer is out of business so I can’t find specs, but I believe last I used generic ATF

I need 18L

I have on hand old sealed stock of g 052 162 a2 transmission fluid

Or

Shell spirax ATF s6 A668 oil

Would that be suitable

Thank you

I think 99% of manufacturers use a 32 Hydraulic oil

Since you used the ATF last time with no issues, I would use your existing stash of fluid.

Assuming that you used a traditional Dex/Merc previously and nothing bad has occurred, either of those you have now would also work fine. Being used as a hydraulic fluid, it's not really that critical.

Here's what I found:
