Industrial Hydraulic Fluid
Valvoline Hydraulic Fluid AW 46 is a mineral-base oil formulated for industrial stationary and mobile hydraulic systems. The ISO VG 46 grade suits equipment that specifies this viscosity range. Supplied in a 5 gal pail, it meets DIN 51524 Pt. 2 and several OEM approvals.
Thermal and Power Characteristics
The fluid has a viscosity index of 106, a flash point of 400 Degrees F and a pour point of -39 Degrees C. Specific gravity measures .875 at 15.6 Degrees C. These properties support consistent flow and film strength across wide temperature swings in normal service.
Build Integration
The 5 gal container provides a practical fill volume for reservoir top-offs or complete changes. Compatibility with Eaton Brochure, GM LS-2, MAG IAS, Parker Hannifin HF-0 and U. S. Steel specifications reduces the need for multiple fluid stocks. Not suited for systems requiring an NSF-rated fluid or a different ISO viscosity grade.

Questions about this item
How do I add this ISO 46 hydraulic oil to my system without introducing air?
Clean the fill port, then pour the fluid slowly into the reservoir while the pump is off; allow bubbles to rise before cycling the system to purge remaining air.
What replacement interval should I plan for this mineral-base fluid?
Monitor viscosity and contamination at regular service intervals; replace when analysis shows viscosity drift beyond the 106 index range or when water and particle counts exceed system limits.
At what temperature does sustained operation risk fluid breakdown?
The pour point is -39 °C and the flash point is 400 °F; continuous reservoir temperatures near the upper end reduce oxidation life and signal a need for cooler capacity.
