Default Air retract system converted to hydraulic with ATF?

Holeshot,

Keep in mind that petroleum based oils will dissolve petroleum based seals/packings. Keep the seals and oils separated by the base.

Petroleum seals/synthetic oil. Synthetic seals/petroleum oil.

O rings are available in several hardness compounds.

Are you considering a pressurized reservoir/accumulator to power your system, weight is going to add up really quickly.
