What color of Mobil hydraulic oil

Hydraulic oil plays a crucial role in industrial equipment and mechanical systems. As a world-renowned lubricant brand, Mobil's hydraulic oil products are widely used in various mechanical equipment. Many users pay attention to their color characteristics when selecting or replacing hydraulic oil, because color can not only help identify the type of oil, but also initially judge the status of the oil. This article will analyze the color and related characteristics of Mobil hydraulic oil in detail, and attach structured data for reference.

1. Color classification of Mobil hydraulic oil

What color of Mobil hydraulic oil

The color of Mobil hydraulic oil is usually related to its base oil type, additive formula, and purpose. Here are some common Mobil hydraulic oils and their typical colors:

Product NamecolorCommon uses
Mobil DTE 10 ExcelLight amberHigh pressure hydraulic system
Mobil DTE 20Deep amberGeneral hydraulic system
Mobil SHC 500Light yellowHigh-performance hydraulic system
Mobil AW 32Transparent or light yellowLow temperature environment hydraulic system

2. Possible reasons for changes in the color of hydraulic oil

The color of the hydraulic oil may change during use. Here are the common causes and effects of color changes:

Color changesPossible CausesRecommended operation
Deeper (such as amber → brown)Oxidation or contaminationCheck the oil condition and replace it if necessary
Become turbidMix moisture or precipitate additivesTest moisture content and consider changing oil products
Black particles appearMetal wear or contaminationCheck the wear of the equipment, replace the oil and clean the system

3. How to judge the hydraulic oil status by color

While color cannot be the only criterion for judging the quality of hydraulic oil, it can provide some important clues:

1.New oil color: Usually transparent or light yellow (mineral oil) or light amber (synthetic oil). If the new oil is extremely dark in color, you need to check whether it is genuine.

2.Oil in use: It is normal for the color to gradually darken, but if there is a significant change in the short term, it may indicate oil contamination or oxidation.

3.Exceptional color: If milky white (water mixed in), red (other oil mixed in) or black (severe contamination), the machine must be shut down immediately for inspection.

4. Recommendations for selecting Mobil hydraulic oil

When choosing hydraulic oil, color is only one of the reference factors, and the following key points need to be considered comprehensively:

Selection factorsillustrate
Viscosity gradeSelect according to the recommended selection of equipment manufacturer (such as ISO VG 32, 46, etc.)
Base oil typeMineral oil, semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil
Additive formulaAnti-wear, anti-oxidation, anti-rust and other performance requirements
Working environmentTemperature, humidity, load and other conditions

5. Hot topics related: Hydraulic oil environmental protection trend

Hot topics in the industry in the past 10 days include "biodegradable hydraulic oil" and "technical innovation of lubricating oil under carbon neutrality targets". Brands such as Mobil have launched environmentally friendly hydraulic oils, which are mostly light green or colorless, to distinguish them from traditional oil products. The demand for such products in wind power, marine engineering and other fields has increased significantly.

Summarize

The color of Mobil hydraulic oil varies by product type, ranging from transparent yellow to dark amber. Users should regularly observe the changes in the color of the oil product and comprehensively judge the oil product status based on other indicators (such as viscosity and acid value). When choosing hydraulic oil, be sure to use the requirements of the equipment manufacturer and actual working conditions as the primary basis.
