Central Hydraulic System Oil
Central hydraulic system oil is a service fluid for systems that require its specification. It is different from an additive intended to modify another oil or treat a leak. Identify the required hydraulic fluid before choosing the product.
The LIQUI MOLY oil offered here is one option for applications matching its stated recommendations. Use the required fluid specification to establish suitability for the system being serviced.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can different central hydraulic fluids be mixed?
Use the mixing instructions for the specified fluid and vehicle. For the LIQUI MOLY oil offered here, the manufacturer states that optimum performance is achieved when used undiluted. A similar color is not proof that another fluid can be mixed with it.
Can this central hydraulic oil be used in power steering?
LIQUI MOLY lists power steering among possible applications where the required specification matches. Check the vehicle's required fluid specification before use; the product is not suitable for every power steering system.
Can hydraulic system oil be used as brake fluid?
Use the brake fluid specification required by the vehicle. Central hydraulic system oil and brake fluid are different service fluids; do not substitute one in a brake reservoir unless the vehicle manufacturer specifies it for that system.
Does a one-liter bottle tell me how much fluid the system needs?
Bottle size describes the amount supplied, not the vehicle's fill requirement. The service quantity and level-check procedure come from the vehicle or component instructions. Buying a multipack does not change the amount the system should contain.
Will adding hydraulic oil repair a leaking seal?
Fluid can replace a quantity lost from the system, but it does not repair a damaged seal or hose. Locate and correct the leak, then fill and service the system using the required fluid and procedure.
