Hydraulic Fluid Change

[UFF]

Change the hydraulic fluid in my 310rl this year. Hear is a pic. Found it easiest to open the door before I attached the truck. Easier to access. If you have the room it did make it easier on an old fat guy. Oh and yes I did retract the front legs completely, just took the photo too soon.

What is the interval/condition for needing that?

Don't understand your post, did you have problems, was there discolored fluided.
Why did you decide, too change the fluid. Many questions??

Here is a doc from lippert that says every 5 years and also talks about the condition. Owners manual says every 5 years. Had my jacks popping on my first outting and can’t remember if I added 1 or 2 qts of fork oil to it back in 2023. Decided to use the CAT stiction fluid this time.

This may be of interest to you guys. I use a free app called "AnyList". I use it for cooking, but I ended up using it for ALL my lists. I have an RV list. One category I setup, is Maintenance. Notice the ability to embed a picture of screen snap shots or a picture taken on the phone. This gives me instant info, I pulled from the manual. You can also put hyperlinks in you notes as well. Attached are a few screen shots....I am a geeked out caveman..LOL

Pic #1--This is what it looks like on your phone. Notice I have Mobile Tech's near me (Thought I might have needed extra pair of hands)
Pic #2--What it looks like when you hit the embedded manual pic I circled

I doubt a lippert product could last the 5 years to warrant a change of fluid. Although not a lippert product per se, my jack hoses blistered and started leaking at 2years.

my jack hoses blistered

Which ones did you have to replace?

Which ones did you have to replace?

Intermediate jacks hoses. I suspect more are in my future as the lines are bent too sharp(they should have used 90 deg fittings in several places but instead just made the hose bend.

I have added two quarts of one of the recommended fork oil to my system. If it continues to "pop" I'll change the fluid and start over with CAT antistiction.

I’ll let everyone know if the CAT fluid fixed it.

Well 3 nights in no popping. Going to call it a win.
