        How did that happen?? Usually when anyone adds make up oil to anything it is new and fresh. Did you get a bad batch from your supplier? WOW!

        You are going to have to change and flush the hydraulic system and install new fresh oil. Seafoam products used to make a hydraulic oil dessicant for removing water but I don't see it anywhere. Another option is to have an oil polisher come out and service your system.

          i had a five gallon container that was probably 3years old. Started pouring the oil in and it looked fine–water was, of cour se, in the bottom. Live and learn!
