Hyd tank

Anyone know how much oil it takes to drain the hyd tank and change the filters?  No flushing the system?

7.48 gallons per cubic foot of tank will get you in the ballpark for any tank or vessel, and SWAG at the innards.

Jack,

Does your tank hold 23 qts?  or are you talking about your whole system?
Is 12w40 a typo?

Yes, it is standard Delo 400 15-40 just as the label on the reservoir says.
