Any you fellas ever use a cold weather oil in your floor jacks? We're about to get another cold weather cocktail so I swapped my studded snows on - floor jack only wanted to go up about 25% of the way and never felt solid. Its in the 20s so not THAT cold.

Just wunnerin if its worth the effort.

For your location id say why not try it. My friend from Michigan said he opened a bottle of delo and squeezed the bottle, it came out in cylinder shape over an inch above and it went back inside without a mess hahaha.

Anything that takes Hydro I use this from the equipment at work to the powerglide in my truck with some type F mixed in to see it on the stick, in my engine hoist and floor jack never had an issue in the winter either.


Says not to use it in a passenger car auto trans but yet its fine if it's an auto being used off road LOL
