What kind of oil is in the brake system on a 6080. I'm a pinch low, just enough to make the light come on. Couldn't find anything in the owners manual.

originally they had 10w motor oil - aint gonna find that - 821 hydraulic oil works fine - do not use brake oil as in Dot 3 unless you love to rebuild brake systems..
