It is recommended that Castrol Performance Bio HE be stored indoors at temperatures above freezing to avoid any appearance of clouding during extended storage periods. is clouding tendency is in the nature of vegetable oils but does not affect their performance. e cloudiness will disappear when the chilled oil warms to 50-60°F. It is also very important that Castrol Performance Bio HE be stored in a manner that prevents water contamination. While Castrol Performance Bio HE rejects water just like mineral-based fluids do, as a regular gross contaminant, water has greater potential for shortening service life of a vegetable oil as compared to a mineral oil. Traces of water present under normal conditions do not present a problem. Converting to Castrol Performance Bio HE Drain the system while hot as completely as possible from all drain points. Small quantities of oil le in the system are not significant. Replace the filter and clean the filter housing. Refill system with Castrol Performance Bio HE. Aer start-up, change the filter aer 50 and 100 hours of operation. Consult OEM for recommended drain schedule for biodegradable, vegetable-based hydraulic oils and use routine used oil analysis to help determine drains.

Spill prevention and clean up efforts are the same for Castrol Performance Bio HE as for other mineral hydraulic fluids. All oil spills are reportable to the National Response Center and/or state and local government agencies.
