    Thanks, Ron
    So is this only for 6 point systems? I have a 2020 Reflection 29RS with front and rear jacks only.

    It's for systems with Lippert hydraulic jacks.

    You only need to add fluid once if the fluid you use works. I've used Cat fluid in both my Solitudes and it worked each time. Add a quart and you're done.

    Thanks. So is there a way to check the level? And where is this located? I am totally unaware of this one.

    You don't have a hydraulic leveling system on your Reflection - yours is electric.

    Thanks Rob. One less thing I have to worry about. You are a wealth of information on this forum!

    Shows I can use Torco or Maxima Fork Oil. Does it make any difference which oil I use so long as it's on the addendum?
    I bought ours at a Caterpillar Parts dealer. Make sure you don't overextend your credit card...that stuff is as expensive as liquid gold...

    However, we had a lot of popping from the hydraulics in our 2016 Solitude which is why we bought the fluid. Haven't really heard any popping since...

    Sounds good. The reason I'm going into this so much is I tend to have quite a bit of various brands/weights of fork & shock oil at home (I have 3 dirt bikes, 3 road motorcycles, and a full suspension mountain bicycle). I'd much rather use some of that then have yet another container of fluid sitting around. Thankfully, I haven't had any popping (yet?) but if/when I do, I'll try an experiment with the fork oil and post up what I find out.
    Good info!
    If you add the entire quart of CAT fluid (as recommended) you wouldn't have any of "That" laying around as leftovers.

    True.

    Well, the good news is I don't have any popping or sticking going on (yet?). I've been using the 6 point system on average about once week since I got my unit in Dec. Maybe the newer seals are less prone to stiction? I know motorcycle fork & shock seals have improved quite a bit in the recent years. (SKF's are my favorites)

    I really like how the overall LevelUp system works - even the "hitch height" feature has worked well for me - I've only had to adjust it once.

    I moved the leveler mounts up after installing the snap pads and recently had the rears extended quite a bit. I don't know what would trigger a stroke error, but this didn't.
