Don't let hydraulic oil ruin the excavator! High oil temperature and soft operation? You didn't choose the right oil pot

  • 2025-10-21

The root cause of many problems encountered by excavators, such as soaring oil temperature above 85 ℃, weak bucket lifting, and old and broken seals, lies in hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil tank of excavators is small and has limited heat dissipation conditions. In addition, high-intensity operations such as mining and gravel fields make it easy for the oil temperature to exceed the standard. Poor quality oil will quickly oxidize and turn black, forming a gelatinous substance that blocks the pipeline.

High quality excavator hydraulic oil comes with an "anti-aging protection shield": excellent antioxidant performance can withstand high temperatures of around 100 ℃, avoiding oil deterioration, and the oil change cycle can be extended to 4000 hours; Good water separation performance can quickly separate rainwater and condensate entering the system, preventing rust caused by oil emulsification and whitening. Especially for excavators equipped with breakers, it is necessary to choose models with strong wear resistance and shorten the oil change cycle, otherwise the main pump may be scrapped prematurely due to wear and tear. Choosing the right oil can prevent "minor problems from turning into major failures" and reduce downtime losses.
