Can\'t find oil

I need to top up the oil in a Simrad HLD200 Linear Drive. The manual recommends a biodegradable synthetic oil called Hydralen 32. I've googled this but cannot find any info.
Has anybody topped up their system and what did you use ?

Re: Can\'t find oil

from their manual:

"All HLD models are supplied with environmentally friendly synthetic hydraulic oil with designation of type Hydralen 32 (viscosity 32 cSt). This oil can without problem substitute/blend with ordinary hydraulic oil with equivalent viscosity (between 15 and 40 cSt) "

So any quality oil with 32 viscosity is OK. e.g. Mobil DTE Excel, Castrol Hyspin AWHM 32

Sorry - should have suggested the BIOBAR environmentally friendly range

Re: Can\'t find oil

Thanks for the quick reply. I assume that the oils will mix OK. The Hydralen 32 is synthetic. Do I need to empty the system first ?
