Jack snapping noises

My leveling Jacks seem to make popping noises whether we're moving around inside or not. My neighbor said that there is a fluid additive or a different hydraulic fluid that will stop this activity. He's not sure as to specifics though.

Question: Has anyone had a similar experience?

Any solution recommendations?

Thx
  • I have put in the additive Maxima Fork Oil Grade 15 and it helped some but not extending the jacks all the way out helps also. The more you have the jacks extended the more they will pop.
  • Lippert recommends any of 3 fluids, 2 of which I believe are available from Amazon.

    Torco RFF Grade 15

    Maxima Fork Oil Grade 15

    Caterpillar Hydraulic Oil Additive 1U-9891
