Apec Hydraulic 46 Hydraulic Oil 5 Litre (A4135L)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A4135L

Apec Hydraulic 46 is the ISO 46 grade of Apec's HM anti-wear hydraulic oil, in a 5 litre can, a slightly thicker oil than the ISO 32 grade, for systems whose maker names ISO 46. It meets DIN 51524 part 2, has high oxidation resistance and thermal stability, and suits the majority of hydraulic hose materials.

Good to know

• Why choose 46 over 32? A heavier grade keeps its thickness better in warm weather and under sustained load; but always fill with the grade on the machine's plate or manual, since the pump and valves are set up for it.
• Can I mix it with the oil already in the tank? Topping up with the same type and grade is fine; mixing grades shifts the viscosity, so for a change of grade drain and refill.
• What keeps a hydraulic system healthy? Clean oil: wipe the filler before opening, use a clean jug, and change the filter when the maker says, because dirt wears pumps faster than anything.

Which one?

For a machine that asks for the thinner grade, the Apec Hydraulic 32 Hydraulic Oil 5 Litre (A4125L); for car power steering, use a fluid such as the Apec Chf Hydraulic Oil 1 Litre (A3221L) instead.
