Re: Seastar hydraulic fluid

This is embarrassing. I used to bottle and label the stuff. I THINK the number is 5606 Aircraft Hydraulic Fluid.....As I remember it. Aircraft because of the wide tolerance for temperature. An airplane may be sitting on 100 degree tarmac and five minutes later be in sub-zero temperature at high altitude.
