Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid & FEL performance

MikePA · Nov 20, 2003

How or why is Amsoil Synthetic better than NH F200?
It's not just a thinner oil, as previous posts about F200 indicate. It's a full synthetic that flows at -40F.

Is it suitable for year roud use? 
Yep.

Check out Chevron All-Weather THF. Its a full synthetic rated for your machine. And like the Amsoil it does not improve cold flow by lowering the viscosity of the fluid. Just a fluid with a great natural viscosity index.

I've already switched to Amsoil. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Did you mean 'And like the Amsoil it does improve cold flow...'

I think he meant what he said, I'd read it again.

Mike: Which Amsoil product did you use? I went to their website and found several versions. Is one more correct than the others?

Which Amsoil product did you use? 
Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Fluid, C-3, C-4.

There are 5 different ways to order this, from 1 quart bottles to a 55 gallon drum, but it's the only Amsoil hydraulic fluid I am aware of.

 I went to their website and found several versions. 
What other products did you see?

The context of this discussion is tractor hydraulics therefore the only Amsoil product that applies is ATH-Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Fluid, ISO 46, SAE 30

None of the other ones you mentioned apply.

 The question was whether there was one Amsoil hydraulic oil or several. There are several, but you are correct, only one applies.
