convertible top hydraulic oil

Porsche P/N 00004320489

Zounds, this stuff is expensive!!! Is there a cheaper alternative? Common hydraulic oil, or perhaps mineral oil, or.....?

Just find a John Deere dealer or maybe order online. My top has been working great for the past 4.5 months. Good Luck.

I used John Deer ride on mower as advised by the parts store. To hell with Porsche stuff at their prices. Mine has been working fine for the past 2 months.
