thanks, now, as far as coolant, it came with a 50/50 mix of Ethylene Glycol Boron antifreeze and water, but I would keep what ever it has now, and generally recommend to get rid (complete flush) of old (green) ethylene glycol and use the long life (red). but this has far more to do with my own feelings about protection of the environment than any study of the protectiveness value or cost.
the oil is a 10w30, gas/lpg uses sae-api service rating of SL,
the hydraulic system (in temperatures down to -18C) uses SAE 10w, api cc or CC/SE/SF/SG (MIL SPEC MIL-L-46152)
The Differential uses 80W90 gear oil.


May I ask why you do not just call the local Hyster (or really, just about any other forklift brand dealer) and order a set of filters based on the serial number of the truck, and then have the filter numbers? and were there not part numbers on the old filters?

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
