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
(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 oils*. For optimum
performance, it is recommended that the system be thoroughly drained and, if
warranted, cleaned prior to installation.
* Not compatible with phosphate ester or silicone
fluids.
AMSOIL PRODUCT AVAILABILITY AMSOIL products are available in 5-gallon pails, 30-gallon drums (AWH
only), 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes and bulk quantities. For 275-gallon
totes, please allow two to four weeks for delivery.
AMSOIL Industrial Lubricants are stocked in Superior, Wisconsin
and in select regional distribution centers throughout the United States and
Canada. AMSOIL will stock additional quantities of lubricants or special order
products based on customer requests and regional demands.
