Hydraulic fluid

We have a 2007 Winnebago Journey and are wondering specifically what kind of hydraulic fluid to use for the levelers?
Thank you

    X2 on this.
  • There should be a label on the tank that tells you what fluid to use.
  • If you're not sure which ATF was used in your leveling system, one of the universal power steering fluids will mix with any of them.
  • the owners manual, or the levelers manufacturers website will give you the correct information. in the case of power gear or hwh, dexron three is recommended. of course, any kind of the newer grades of dexron can be used, just not the old type f. its a different chemical makeup, and will affect the seals.
  • My Lippert system manual says that "any" ATF can be used. I stuck with what used to be A and is now Dextron III.
