Go to any FBO and ask for aviation red hydraulic All the majors make it, Shell, Mobil, Texaco, etc....
I use it for Seastar steering, Jack plate, Bennett trim tabs & trim & tilt !! FBO = Flight Based Operation / small airports...

I recently inquired at my local airport. Didn’t catch the brand but was quoted $36/gallon. Guess I could go for a lifelong supply.

Ive even been out on the water and lost steering and had to put two stroke mixing oil in mine once (only thing I had at the time, used to keep some sea star oil on the boat but not this day) and it seemed to work fairly well. I don't think it matters much long as the viscosity is close.

How does the viscosity of the red hydraulic oil compare with Seastar?

Same stuff. The only thing that separates any from regular hydraulic fluid is that it doesn’t freeze.
