DD Fluid Alternatives?

[BC Green]

What is the weight of AC's DD fluid? Does anyone use alternative such as Amsoil/Royal purple...Thanks

I just bought a bottle of Redline Super Light Shockproof. After speaking with the Redline rep, it should be about the right viscosity. I've always run it in my race cars with excellent results, I expect nothing less in a diamond drive

i use 10w non foaming hoist oil, less than $10 a gallon, you can get it at any auto parts store...

I wonder how Synthetic Diesel oil would work? It has all the corrosion stuff and I would think it would work just fine.

Probably would work fine as any good synthetic will just depends on the weight.To thick it may blow the seals.I think for a couple more bucks I'll stick with the ac synthetic.

Used Amsoil TCC the last 2 years in my M7 and last year in the M1000. No problems yet. Not cheap, but cheaper than the Cat ripoff oil. May just use 10wt hyd oil next change.
