By definition, any fluid whose pressure and flow is used to produce work is considered a hydraulic fluid. For this and reasons of convenience, a multitude of different lubricants have found their way into the hydraulic sump. Without a formal industry specification, it can be difficult to decide on the best fluid for hydraulic equipment. Castrol hydraulic fluids are high–quality lubricants that are proven effective at performing the following tasks, which are critical to long hydraulic component life: • Transmitting power • Providing a viscous seal • Maintaining system pressure • Transferring heat to cool the system • Preventing rust and corrosion • Guarding against foaming • Separating water from oil for easy removal (demulsibility) • Being thermally and hydrolytically stable • Lubricating components; and • Maintaining long service life B A C K N E X T H F 2 L A B C H E C K E N G i N E T R A N S M i S S i O N A X L E F i F T H W H E E L & G R E A S E S S U P E R C L E A N H O M E H Y D R A U L i C F L U i D S i M P O R TA N T A N T i ‑W E A R H Y D R A U L i C F L U i D P R O P E R T i E S
