AMSOIL Synthetic Hydraulic Oil
Hydraulic oil is liquid petroleum distillate used to power hydraulic lifts, industrial machinery, irrigation systems, and many other devices. It’s commonly called “liquid gold” because its ability to lubricate machinery efficiently increases overall performance.
There are a few different kinds of hydraulic oil, each having its advantages and disadvantages. There are three main types that you can choose from: hydraulic fluid, synthetic fluid, and mineral fluid. Each of these three has different properties depending on their intended applications, and each has its unique benefits.
How Does Amsoil Hydraulic Oil Ensure Optimal Performance?
AMSOIL hydraulic oil is formulated using high-quality, premium base oils compounded with advanced viscosity index improvers (VIIs) and other additives. The VIIs improve the fluid’s resistance to shear and thermal breakdown — extending the service life of hydraulic components. AMSOIL hydraulic oils provide superior protection against heat, wear, foaming, and seal swell. Our oil meets the strictest worldwide standards and is backed by a full 25-year warranty for peace of mind.
AMSOIL synthetic fluid also protects your investment by extending the life of your equipment and reducing downtime. This translates into lower maintenance and repair costs, reduced energy consumption, and better productivity.
The Different Types of Hydraulic Oil Offered by Amsoil via Pacific Synthetic
AMSOIL hydraulic oils are divided into three groups based on their application and defining characteristics: hydraulic fluid, synthetic fluid, and mineral fluid. Each type of oil is designed to meet the specific needs of its intended application.
Hydraulic Fluid
This lubricant is used for operations where low wear and long service life are essential, such as trucking, agriculture, construction, and mining. This type of oil withstands high pressure and temperature extremes since it has a high flash point and thermal stability. Because this type of oil is not compatible with some synthetic seals, it is essential to refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations. AMSOIL also offers a complete line of hydraulic fluid additives. They include Hydraulic System Seal Conditioners and Hydraulic System Seal Protectants products. These products prevent seal damage caused by contaminants in the system and water.
Synthetic Fluid
This type of oil is used in applications where low wear, high temperature, and shear conditions are standard. It’s commonly used in off-highway, construction, and agricultural applications. AMSOIL synthetic fluid has a high viscosity index that gives it thermo-chemical stability when exposed to heat and stress. This type of oil also exhibits excellent oxidation stability, which prevents varnish formation when the fluid is exposed to air at elevated temperatures. This oil is also compatible with synthetic seals.
Mineral Fluid
This type of oil is used in the mining industry, off-highway applications, construction, agriculture, and many other high-stress applications. There are two different types of this oil: mineral base and synthetic base. AMSOIL offers both types in numerous viscosity grades to meet your application needs.
