Hayter condor what oil do i put in the hydrostatic drive?

Hello good people
Does anyone know what type of oil goes in the hydrostatic drive of my Hayter condor. my gut feeling is its normal engine oil but i cant be sure and dont want to risk breaking it so any advice appreciated

My answer was for Haytor Condor 510D (forward reverse) and may not apply to the older "4 forward/reverse" model.

BP Vanellus M20W, BP Energol HLP22 or equivalent.

In a Condor manual it said use Automatic Transmission Fluid in the Hydrostatic Unit, no further details.

You can download a manual in pdf format from the hayter website.

Hi
Ask Hayter direct or buy a manual, sometimes available on ebay. Check engine oil viscosity as well, some one told me that the kohler engine needs a specific oil. Sorry cant be more specific.
Cheers

all it is is a hydraulic fluid. you can purchase it at any automotive parts store.
