When purchasing hydraulic oil there are a few things most
customers want to know:

1. Will AMSOIL synthetic oil make my seals leak?

2. If I pay the higher price for your synthetic hydraulic oil how will it save me
money?

3. Do I really need a higher quality oil?

The Answers:

Seals are affected by time and higher temperatures. Our AW series
hydraulic oils can reduce operating temperature and will reduce any seal
hardening problems. AW series also contains special seal conditioners to
keep seals in like-new condition for long periods of time. Cheap hydraulic
oils and some synthetics do not contain this additive and hence don't
protect hoses and seals like AW series can.

By purchasing AW series hydraulic oil and paying the higher price over
petroleum hydraulic oils you should see the following benefits:

1. Lower wear

2. Extended oil life

3. Less waste oil generated

4. Smoother operation from non-foaming

5. Protection from cold and hot temperature operation

6. Seals and hoses will last longer with a reduction in leaks

7. More production

8. Less maintenance required

9. Cooler running hydraulic system

10. MEHF means maximum efficiency hydraulic fluid or electrical savings
(varies with pump type and operating conditions) and allows for
multi-viscosity saving from seasonal drains saving more time and money.

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 -20F.

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.
