Tips for Buying FUCHS Lubricants

1. Check the Machine Manufacturer

Always start with the equipment manufacturer’s lubrication specification.

2. Confirm the Correct Viscosity

Check whether the machine requires a particular viscosity grade such as ISO VG 32, ISO VG 46, ISO VG 68, SAE 15W-40, SAE 10W-40 or another grade.

3. Check OEM Approvals

Do not select a lubricant based only on viscosity. Check the required OEM approval or recommendation.

4. Identify the Application

Engine oil, hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, gear oil and grease are not interchangeable products.

5. Check Operating Conditions

Consider:

• Ambient temperature
• Operating temperature
• Load
• Dust
• Water exposure
• Operating hours
• Pressure
• Shock loading
• Indoor or outdoor operation

6. Avoid Mixing Lubricants Without Confirmation

Different lubricant formulations may not be compatible. Consult the technical data or lubricant supplier before mixing products.

7. Keep Maintenance Records

Record the lubricant used, quantity, date, machine hours and next service interval.

8. Buy According to the Application

The cheapest oil is not necessarily the most economical choice. Selecting the correct lubricant for the application can help protect expensive equipment and reduce maintenance-related downtime.
