Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Hydraulic HV 68 belongs to the PETRONAS Hydraulic HV Series of high performance, wear-resistant hydraulic fluids, formulated with high quality selected base oils, a shear-stable VI improver, and advanced anti-wear, antioxidant, anti-rust and anti-foam additives. It is recommended for mobile and industrial hydraulic systems operating under normal to heavy-duty conditions that demand good control of fluid viscosity, systems subjected to high or rapid variations in operating or ambient temperature, outdoor systems in cold climates with frequent cold start-ups, and systems requiring high precision and stable efficiency, such as moulding machines. The high viscosity index formulation provides strong anti-wear protection and more stable performance across a wider temperature range than standard-VI products, together with an oxidation life up to three times longer than the minimum ISO 11158 HV TOST requirement. Grade 68 has a kinematic viscosity of 68 cSt at 40°C and 10.5 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 142, a flash point of 230°C and a pour point of -30°C. PETRONAS Hydraulic HV Series meets or exceeds ASTM D 6158 HV, ISO 11158 HV, DIN 51524 Part II HLP and Part III HVLP, SAE MS1004, and OEM specifications including Bosch Rexroth RD90220, Parker Denison HF-0/HF-1/HF-2, Eaton 03-401-2010, GM LS-2, Fives Cincinnati P-68/P-69/P-70 and US Steel 126/127/136.

Applications

• Various mobile and industrial hydraulic systems operating under normal to heavy-duty conditions that demand good control of fluid viscosity during the operating cycle.
• Hydraulic systems subjected to high or rapid variations in operating or ambient temperatures.
• Outdoor hydraulic systems operating in cold climates, where protection at sub-zero temperatures and frequent cold start-ups is required.
• Hydraulic systems requiring high precision and stable efficiency, such as moulding machines.

Performance & benefits

• Ensures superior performance and protection over a wide temperature range, through a high viscosity index.
• Ensures proper protection of equipment components during cold starts, through low-temperature protection.
• Protects equipment components from excessive wear and provides long equipment life, through high anti-wear protection.
• Maintains high filter efficiency without causing undue pressure drop, extending filter lifetime, through high wet and dry filterability.
