question for guys running hydro assist or full hydro

Quote from Cj-

I’m running a 2in x8in hydro assist ram, just got it installed, I’m running a PSC box and stock pump w cooler, till i can save up for a high volume pump. anyway it seems from what i read i should use synthetic fluid, and the instructions call for it for the ram, so after checking the usual places (auto zone, advance, walmart...) the only fluid i can find is royal purple and the only place that has it is pep boys and they have one 12oz bottle for 9 bucks... that’s not happing, what are you guys running and if your running synthetic where do you get it…

thanks

I had to get Royal Purple from a Napa near me. (They ordered it.)
I killed a container this weekend after I had a line come loose and Aaron needed to top off his reservoir after flopping.
Pep Boys had a replacement in stock for $7.99.

(Bottom line is if you want to go synthetic, and you should.....you're unfortunately going to pay for it.)

Maybe try online.

What Billy said. I ordered mine through Summit and it was a tad cheaper (but not much). After swapping my pump last year before big dogs I didn't have replacement RP before the event and had to run parts store fluid...lots more foaming and cavitation in the pump. Since then I flushed and refilled with the RP stuff and it's perfect...I guess the saying is true, you gotta pay to play.

Pretty sure i used regular old ps fluid in my hydro setup with the stock pump and a cooler. Seemed to work fine. If it were me....Id run the cheap stuff till you upgrade the pump(im cheap and lazy), but then again, summit has royal purple for a fairly decent price.

Been running regular old Prestone PS fluid for mine with no issues. Haven't had any issues with fad while running comps or trail riding all day. When I swapped pumps on the new motor the fluid still looked new as well.

Ran regular until this year until I upgraded the pump again. I run the Royal P, for the anti foam qualities.

PSC recommends Royal Purple. I don't know if they void the warranty without it or not, but that's what I run in my PSC setup.
