The problem is, Lippert does not fill these systems. The trailer manufacturer is the one that fills the systems once they are assembled. Hydraulic oil of the weight specified by Lippert is all that is needed, and ATF is just hydraulic oil with dye and additives, and any of them can be mixed together for the simple hydraulics that is the leveling system and slide hydraulics on these rigs. These systems are not filled all the way up from what I've seen, as ours was low, but still worked fine, just no extra oil to cover a leak.
