Cat TH83 Telehandler

Can anyone advise what oil should be used in the main hydraulic system on a Cat TH83 telehandler please. having some intermittent problems where the boom will lift up but wont lower unless left alone for a few minutes, will then lower! was suggested incorrect grade oil may cause pilot pressures to be incorrect. Help!!!!

We usually use the HM46 or HM68 in normal conditions and works good.If that problem is only lowering the boom,thats due to a malfunction of the security valve located in the hidraulic cylinder.
When you lift up,the circuit is free,but when you try to lower,you need a "counter-pressure" in the valve to open the lower the circuit.
Anyway,if you doubt about the oil grade and condition,change it.
