Product Description
KATMOTO HYDRO HV 68 is a high-viscosity-index anti-wear hydraulic oil meeting DIN 51524-3 HVLP / ISO HV for mobile and outdoor hydraulic systems operating across wide temperature ranges. Its high-VI, shear-stable formulation maintains stable viscosity from cold start to high operating temperatures, with excellent anti-wear, oxidation and corrosion protection for year-round and hot/cold-alternating operation.
Key Performance Features
| High viscosity index
stable viscosity across wide temperatures for consistent hydraulic response. |
Shear-stable
maintains viscosity under high shear for durable wide-temperature performance. |
| Excellent anti-wear
protects vane, gear and piston pumps under high pressure and load. |
Cold-start fluidity
low pour point ensures reliable cold-start in low-temperature operation. |
| Oxidation & corrosion protection
resists oil degradation and protects against rust and corrosion. |
Mobile-equipment suitability
ideal for mobile and outdoor hydraulics in variable climates. |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | Mobile and outdoor hydraulic systems (excavators, loaders, cranes, aerial platforms) operating across wide temperature ranges where an ISO VG 68 DIN 51524-3 HVLP / ISO HV oil is specified. |
| Specification | DIN 51524-3 (HVLP) — high-VI anti-wear hydraulic oil standard for HVLP-type fluids. ISO 11158 HV · ISO 6743-4 — international high-VI anti-wear hydraulic classifications. Denison HF-0/HF-1/HF-2 — suitable for Denison vane and piston pump requirements. Eaton (Vickers) M-2950/I-286 — suitable for Eaton/Vickers pump anti-wear requirements. Wide-temperature mobile use — formulated for cold/hot-alternating mobile hydraulic operation. |
| OEM Suitability | Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, Hitachi, XCMG, SANY and other mobile construction/mining hydraulics specifying ISO VG 68 HVLP. Follow the OEM manual for the correct grade. |
| Important Notice | Use only where the equipment manufacturer specifies this grade/type and a matching performance level. ”Suitable for” does not mean official approval unless separately certified. Always follow the OEM manual. |
