Suppliers and use of MIL-PRF-87257 hydraulic fluid
I am trying to find suppliers (in the US) of MIL-PRF-87257 in 1 quart containers. Most I have spoken to will supply 55 gallon drums but that is of no use to us.
This is s direct replacement hydraulic fluid for MIL-PRF-5606 by the way.
Any leads would be appreciated.
Do any of you guys alredy use this hydraulic fluid (outside of the US military)?? Any issues, war stories or recommendations??
