My BIL has been complaining about the $13 a quart price of the official CC hydraulic oil for his CC Model 2185, is there a less expensive substitute? Thanks, Doug

Not sure of the price, but I heard you can get hydraulic oil at walmart for cheaper than the dealer. You might also try co-op.

Hello everyone,

It's great to be here and thanks to all for being so patient and generous with your time.
I just purchased a Cub Cadet 2185 and had the same question.
Spoke to an older rep at the Cub group over at MTD, and he said to me, and I quote: go to Walmart and by the 20W50 oil, that's what these machines had in the hydro's originally, synthetics weren't used in the 2000 series.
I bought my oil in Pep Boys (10% off coupon in May) and hope it works.
