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
prevent acid formation and viscosity increase and inhibit
rust and foam (providing smooth hydraulic operation). AW
Oils contain a very effective zinc-based antiwear/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%. Improved pump efficiency
can increase hydraulic power, reduce fuel consumption
and improve productivity. They 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 temperature extremes. At high
temperatures and pressures, AW Oils provide a good
lubricating film and protect components against wear.
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.
Because they are light-bodied and possess very
good cold-temperature properties, AWF and AWG are the
preferred choices for temperatures below -20°F.
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.

AMSOIL PRODUCT WARRANTY
AMSOIL Industrial Lubricants are formulated to meet or
exceed accepted industry specifications. AMSOIL warrants
that the use of its lubricants will not cause mechanical
damage to any mechanically sound equipment when
AMSOIL products are used in full compliance with the
company’s recommendations. However, the purchaser
of these lubricants is responsible for determining if these
specifications are adequate and proper for the intended
application. The AMSOIL warranty is limited to lubricant
performance consistent with indicated specifications.
No additional warranty, expressed or implied, can
be made.
AMSOIL PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
AMSOIL products are available in 5-gallon pails, 30-gallon drums (AWH only), 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon
totes and bulk quantities. For 275-gallon totes, please
