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 (preventing acid and
viscosity increase), inhibits rust, and inhibits foam (preventing spongy
hydraulics). AMSOIL AW Oils also contain a very effective zinc-based
antiwear/antioxidant additive which prevents wear in high-speed,
high-pressure vane and gear pumps while meeting the lubrication requirements
of axial piston pumps having bronze-on-steel metallurgy. AMSOIL AW Oils are
designed for long life and typically reduce maintenance costs by extending
drain intervals and reducing labor associated with repairs, downtime, and
change outs.
Amsoil Synthetic Base Oil
Technology
AMSOIL's synthetic base oils resist thermal
and oxidative breakdown, preventing carbon or 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, these oils will provide a good lubricating
film and protect components against wear. During cold temperature operation,
equipment will start easier and the need for preheating with sump heaters is
reduced. The AW Series base oils also readily separate from water. This
prevents unwanted oil/water emulsions that inhibit an oil's ability to
lubricate, allows for longer lubricant life, and means water can easily be
drained from the sump.

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. Even though recommended for all-season use, AWF and AWG are the
preferred choice for temperatures less than -20° F because these oils are
light-bodied and have very good cold-temperature properties.
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,
speed reducers, spindles and R & O gear applications.
The ability of the AW Series to extend drain
intervals is subject to operating conditions and maintenance practices.
Monitoring by oil analysis is recommended.
AMSOIL AW Series Oils are compatible with
hydraulic system seals, petroleum hydraulic oils, and most synthetic
hydraulic oils1. For optimum performance, it is recommended that
the system be thoroughly drained and, if warranted, cleaned prior to
installation.
1 Not compatible with phosphate
ester or silicone fluids.
