What about viscosity?

Answer these questions to help determine viscosity in your application:

What is the ambient temperature now?
What are the expected operating conditions and temperature while the equipment is running?
What are the OEM recommendations for your equipment?

Why Cenex industrial hydraulic oils?

Unsuitable use or inferior hydraulic oils can lead to the following issues:

Pump cavitation damage due to poor air release; hydraulic oils that contain silicone antifoams are known to increase the time required for entrained air to escape, which can cause hydraulic control precision loss
More frequent oil drains due to inferior thermal and oxidation stability, which shortens oil life by allowing more sludge and varnish build-up
Filter plugging caused by the hydrolysis of additive components
Increased corrosion and pump wear due to inadequate additive chemistry technology
