Is There a Problem with Adding Engine Oil to Hydraulic Oil?
1 Answers
Adding engine oil to hydraulic oil is problematic and will render the hydraulic oil unusable. Consequences of adding engine oil to hydraulic oil: Mixing a small amount of engine oil into hydraulic oil will alter the viscosity and viscosity-temperature properties of the hydraulic oil, affecting its performance. Quality requirements for hydraulic oil: Suitable viscosity and good viscosity-temperature properties to ensure accurate and responsive power transmission under varying working temperatures, while also ensuring proper lubrication of hydraulic components; excellent rust prevention and oxidation stability to resist degradation under high temperature and pressure conditions, ensuring a long service life; good anti-foaming properties to allow foam generated under continuous mechanical agitation to dissipate quickly, ensuring stable power transmission and preventing accelerated oxidation of the hydraulic oil.
