Hydraulic Oil
The most crucial element to the hydraulic system is the hydraulic oil. It provides the system with
vitality. The oil transports damaging contaminants to filtering systems, lubricates and provides anti-
wear protection against component corrosion.
Regular oil changes are vital to the lifespan of hydraulic system components. Overtime, particles in
the oil will deteriorate the hydraulic system. Observation of the oil color change signifies oxidization
and the need to be replaced. At that time, the oil will appear cloudy or milky. Keep in mind
operational performance, load and environmental conditions are variables that determine the
frequency of hydraulic oil renewal.
Following stringent maintenance schedules and performing routine oil analysis are effective methods
of obtaining information to determine the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil. Labrie Environmental
Group recommends that the hydraulic oil be replaced or filtered every 1000 hours and following
any major hydraulic failures. Failure to maintain hydraulic cleanliness to recommended guidelines
may result in failure of hydraulic components and void your warranty.
Oil Recommendations
All Labrie hydraulic systems are filled at the factory with a high-quality anti-wear hydraulic fluid
meeting an ISO 32 specification. On vehicles that are used in high ambient temperatures or that
sustain high duty cycles, it may be desirable to change the fluid to an ISO 46 specification which has
higher viscosity. For vehicles working in colder climates or performing light duty cycles, an ISO 22
might be more appropriate. The International Standards Organization (ISO) assigns specification
numbers in order that a consumer receives the same product from different suppliers.
Other important points to note:
The oil must contain anti-wear and anti-foam additives, rust and oxidation neutralizers and self-
protecting agents.
It must also meet MIL-H-5606 or SAE IOW “MS” standards.
The oil must be absolutely clean and free of contaminants.
Any hydraulic oil that possesses such properties may be used on an A
