Anyone use Sinopec hydraulic oil?

[Rosch42]

I, like everyone on here is always looking for a better price on good quality hydraulic fluid. I came across this ISO 46 hydraulic fluid from Sinopec for $350 a 55 gallon drum. The price alone is throwing up some red flags, so I want to know if anyone has ever used anything from Sinopec and what their opinion of it is. And yes I know it's made in China, so it probably has lead paint in it.

Its your tractor, but I wouldnt do it.

You'd be lucky if all it had was lead in it.

Actually, you can get 5 gallon jugs of Super S hydraulic oil at Rural King for $21.99 per gallon. That's cheaper per gallon. Guys around here use lots of it in everything from heavy equipment to log splitters with no issues.

It's amazing the price differences from region to region. It's ON SALE at my local TSC for close to $30 for 5 gallon bucket.

That's a better deal still than the 55 gallon drum.

I would not trust their oil at all. I have one of their tractors which is fine, but has had a few problems that were readily fixed. You can't do that once you have the oil in your machines.
I would stick to the main brands and even check out what Napa charges for their own brands for 55 drums. Even Walmart oil will probably be better than Sinopec stuff IMHO

I have never heard of Sinopec oil but having read that it is Chinese owned is more than enough reason for me not to use their product regardless of the claimed quality.
