Hydraulic fluids
Castrol understands the importance of choosing the right hydraulic fluid for your fleet. That is why we offer a wide range designed to protect and improve the efficiency of various hydraulic systems.
Castrol’s Liquid Engineers have developed a range of hydraulic fluids to meet performance standards required by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). These include products that meet recent changes in hydraulic fluid formulation driven by industry trends and OEMs:
- Improved oxidation stability to accommodate higher operating temperatures
- Improved air release, foam control and water separation to handle smaller reservoirs and reduced cycle times
- Improved dry/wet filterability due to reduced filter pore size and tolerance to water contamination
- Better hydrolytic stability to handle water contamination
- Extended pump life to meet Denison T6H20C pump performance
- Increased drain intervals requiring the lubricants to retain original performance longer
Our ranges include engine oils that meet – and exceed – OEM specifications for Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Mack and Volvo.
CASTROL BLUE HYDRAULIC PLUS 46
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Superior hydrolytic stability provides additional protection against corrosion and wear when contaminated with water while providing longer pump life and less wear.
- Superior oxidation stability :
- Provides resistance to thermal degradation in the presence of entrained air and catalyzing metals.
- Prevents the formation of sludge and varnish deposits during periods of extended high temperature operation.
- Maintains Viscosity stability.
- Resists formation of oxidation acids allowing increased “up-time”.
- Helps systems operate more efficiently……with less maintenance spend.
- A carefully balanced rust and corrosion package prevents corrosion and reduces the catalytic effect of contaminants on system metals and reduces operating costs and prolongs system life.
- Water Tolerance:
- Some commercial hydraulic fluids fail when contaminated with water in field applications. It is important to note that these fluids had previously met the severe performance standards of many pumpmanufacturers. Castrol Blue Hydraulic Plus Lubricants, which has outstanding performance in many severe OEM pump tests, was run in modified tests contaminated with 1% water. Results: The Pass/Failcriteria remained the same.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Blue Hydraulic Plus meets the following industry specifications and OEM requirments :-
- Denison HF-O, HF-1, HF-2 approved.
- Vickers 35VQ25A meets performance requirements.
- Vickers M-2950-S Mobile Hydraulic Systems and I-286-S Industrial Hydraulic Systems.
- Cincinnati Machine P-68 (ISO 32), P-70 (ISO 46) and P-69 (ISO 68).
- Meets Racine S106.
- Meets Joy Mining Machinery HO-T (AW 46), HO-S (AW 68).
- Meets DIN 51524 Requirements.

Castrol® Go!® 20W-50
Castrol Dual Range HV Hydraulic Fluids are exceptional multi-viscosity hydraulic fluids that provide proven anti-wear protection coupled with very shear stable polymers and anti-foam additives for a balanced package. An extreme load carrying capability is indicated where Castrol Dual Range HV Hydraulic Fluids pass the FZG Load carrying test at Stage 12. This outstanding performance provides the extra measure of protection required in high load applications such as hydrostatic transmissions and high speed/high pressure hydraulic circuits.
FEATRUES AND BENEFITS:
- Very shear stable polymers provide universal applications under a wide range of ambient conditions.
- Excellent viscosity at operating temperatures (particularly under extreme conditions).
- Less wear promotes longer equipment life and better productivity through maximum hydraulic system efficiency.
- Excellent vane and piston pump performance that meets major hydraulic pump manufacturers’ requirements.
- Less failure of hydraulic circuits.
- Less equipment repair for long term trouble-free service.
- Outstanding hydrolytic stability provides additional protection against corrosion in the presence of water.
- Systems operate more efficiently, while reducing maintenance costs.
- Exceptional oxidation and thermal stability provides resistant to thermal degradation in the presence of entrained air and catalyzing metals.
- Prevents the formation of sludge and varnish deposits during periods of extended high temperature operation.
- Resistant to the formation of oxidation acids allowing longer pump life, less wear, less down time.
