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 -20°F.
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.

AMSOIL PRODUCT WARRANTY
AMSOIL Industrial Lubricants are formulated to meet or exceed accepted
industry specifications. AMSOIL warrants that the use of its lubricants
will not cause mechanical damage to any mechanically sound equipment when
AMSOIL products are used in full compliance with the company’s
recommendations. However, the purchaser of these lubricants is responsible
for determining if these specifications are adequate and proper for the
intended application. The AMSOIL warranty is limited to lubricant
performance consistent with indicated specifications. No additional
warranty, expressed or implied, can be made.
AMSOIL PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
AMSOIL products are available in 5-gallon pails, 30-gallon drums (AWH
