PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic AW Series Antiwear Hydraulic Oils are shear-stable, long-life lubricants
based on high-quality synthetic oil technology. These oils are formulated with a
premium additive system that inhibits oxidation to help prevent acid formation and
viscosity increase and inhibit rust and foam (providing smooth hydraulic operation).
AW Oils contain a very effective zinc-based anti-wear/antioxidant additive which
controls wear in high-speed, high-pressure vane and gear pumps while meeting the
lubrication requirements of axial piston pumps with bronze-on-steel metallurgy.
AW Oils meet the requirements for Maximum Efficiency Hydraulic Fluid (mehf) and
can lower costs and/or increase productivity in mobile equipment by 6 to 15 percent.
Improved pump efficiency can increase hydraulic power, reduce fuel consumption and
improve productivity. AW Oils are designed for long life and typically reduce maintenance
costs by extending drain intervals and reducing labor costs, repairs and downtime.
AMSOIL Synthetic Base Oil Technology
AMSOIL synthetic base oils resist thermal and oxidative breakdown and work to prevent
carbon and varnish deposits. The very high viscosity indices, low pour points and
lack of paraffins (wax) make these good all-season lubricants well suited for high
and low temperature extremes. At high temperatures and pressures, AW Oils provide
a good lubricating film and protect components against wear. During cold-temperature
operation, equipment starts easier and the need for preheating with sump heaters
is reduced. The AW Series base oils also readily separate from water, preventing
oil/water emulsions that inhibit lubrication and allowing for longer lubricant life
and easier water drainage from the sump.
Performance Features
- Extended oil drain intervals
- Antiwear protection for high-pressure systems
- Recommended for gear, vane and piston pumps
- Contain rust, oxidation and foam inhibitors
- Designed for extreme temperature operations
- Hydrolytically stable and readily separates from water
- Improves mobile equipment efficiency (mehf)
Application Recommendation
The correct viscosity grades of AMSOIL Synthetic AW Series Antiwear Hydraulic Oils
are recommended for high- and low-pressure gear, vane and piston stationary and
mobile hydraulic systems. They meet the performance requirements of all major hydraulic
manufacturers and are excellent for general purpose use where extended drain intervals
are desired and in severe duty operations where temperature extremes are encountered.
Some applications include machine tools and presses, mobile construction equipment,
farming equipment, logging trucks, boom trucks and plastic injection molding machines.
The appropriate viscosity grades of AW Oils are also suitable for use in pneumatic
tools and spindles.
AMSOIL AW Series Oils are compatible with hydraulic system seals, petroleum hydraulic
oils and most synthetic hydraulic oils*. For optimum performance, it is recommended
the system be thoroughly drained and, if warranted, cleaned prior to installation.
Oil analysis is recommended to maximize oil drain intervals.
* Not compatible with phosphate ester or silicone fluids.
