Although that's what you'd ideally do, the issue with it is cost.best to empty system and start fresh with new filters
If you're not sure what's in it, it's been too long since it was last changed.I'd just use ISO32 or 46 mineral.
Bio is even more expensive, and unlikely to be used unless there is a specific need for it.

It's not unusual for even modest sized machines to need 30+ litres, and given even common types of hydraulic oil are over £2 a litre, a simple oil change can get expensive very quickly.
Unless the hydraulic oil is showing signs of degradation/contamination, I personally wouldn't change it.
This is what I would do.While Im in agreement with Brad, if its a cost thing….put in what the manual states…
The more toys a man has, the bigger his oil bill!This is what I would do.
I have just flushed my tractor. That cost about £150 in oil. That hurt. The digger hydraulic oil capacity is more!!
Thats not really true for a low hours home/small holder type machine, its not like there running 7 days a week. Im the second owner of my 2015 tractor and its only just turned 300 hours!If you're not sure what's in it, it's been too long since it was last changed.
You need to use it more!Thats not really true for a low hours home/small holder type machine, its not like there running 7 days a week. Im the second owner of my 2015 tractor and its only just turned 300 hours!
Possibly do need to use it more, but much of what I do is done with a quad, but for hay, fencing and stuff I just borrow a tractor from my son in law who has a selection to choose from, with all the kit for the back. Mine mainly gets used for a bit of topping, pallet delivery and repairing our drive.You need to use it more!
I only really use the little New Holland 1220 for mowing lawns but I've added more than that in the three years I've owned it.
The JCB has had nearly 80h put on it since the rebuilt engine was put in over the summer.
