industrial and mobile equipment operating in environmentally sensitive
areas. It exceeds all requirements for biodegradability as defined by
the EPA 40 CFR Part 792, OECD 301B and USTC PRO-BIO-BP 111-9
test methods. Synterra Hydraulic Fluid is particularly recommended
for use in hydraulic equipment operating in national parks and wildlife
refuges, around lakes and streams, and in other recreational areas.

Ecoterra® HVI Hydraulic Oil
High-quality, zinc-free high viscosity index antiwear hydraulic oil;
specifically developed for use in off-road equipment operating over
a wide temperature range; inherently biodegradable
Ecoterra HVI Hydraulic Oil (ISO 46) is specifically formulated for use in
the hydraulic systems of off-road equipment manufactured by Hitachi,
John Deere and others operating over a wide temperature range. It
has excellent water-separating properties to minimize the formation of
emulsions and is resistant to excessive foam buildup that can cause
poor or sluggish hydraulic system response. The combination of
high viscosity index and low pour point permits its use over a wider
temperature range than conventional antiwear hydraulic oil. The high
viscosity index helps maintain oil viscosity at operating temperatures
to reduce energy loss caused by internal oil leakage in the hydraulic
system, resulting in higher hydraulic system efficiency. Ecoterra
Hydraulic Oil 46 meets the performance requirements of Hitachi
Advanced Hydraulic Oil, and is fully compatible with the Hitachi fluid
and with Hitachi seals and hoses.
Applications:
• Hitachi excavators with 4,000-hour service intervals
• Hydraulic systems of excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, crawlers,
skid steers, front-end loaders, wheel loaders, motor graders,
compaction equipment and forestry equipment, where the
manufacturer recommends a zinc-free hydraulic fluid
Features/Benefits:
• Zinc-free formulation
• Very high VI to reduce internal oil leakage for higher system
efficiency
• Increased hydraulic system efficiency up to 6% compared to
conventional hydraulic fluids
• Suitable for year-round use
• Excellent wear protection for hydraulic pumps and motors
• Excellent oxidation resistance
• Protects against rust and corrosion
• Excellent water-separating properties
• Improved filterability
• Good foam resistance
• Extended equipment life
Note: Ecoterra Hydraulic Fluid HVI 46 is not compatible with zinc-containing hydraulic
oils and may cause residue, gelling or filter plugging if mixed with such fluids. Mixing
the two products will lessen the environmental advantages normally gained by using
Ecoterra Hydraulic Fluid HVI 46.
Ecoterra® HVI-E Hydraulic Oil
High VI, Zinc-Free Antiwear Hydraulic Oil For Off-Road Equipment;
Emulsifies With Water
Ecoterra HVI-E Hydraulic Oil is a high-quality, high viscosity index,
zinc-free antiwear hydraulic oil developed for use in mobile equipment
operating over a wide temperature range and in wet environments.
It is specially formulated to emulsify readily with water to maintain
effective lubrication in the presence of water. It is particularly
recommended for use in off-road equipment manufactured by
Hitachi, John Deere and others, operating under conditions where
an emulsifiable hydraulic oil is specified or preferred. It is formulated
with an ashless (zinc-free) antiwear additive package to provide
excellent wear protection for hydraulic pumps and motors, and to
protect hydraulic system components against rust and corrosion.
It has excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability at high
temperatures to minimize deposit formation and provide long service
life. It has a high viscosity index and low pour point for use over a
EN VI R O N M E N TA L LY C ON SC IOU S
wider temperature range than conventional antiwear hydraulic oils. It
also has excellent low-temperature properties for cold start-ups. It is
resistant to excessive foam buildup that can cause poor or sluggish
hydraulic system response. Ecoterra HVI-E Hydraulic Oil meets the
performance requirements of all major hydraulic pump manufacturers,
and is recommended for use in all types of high-pressure, high-speed
hydraulic pumps. It also meets the performance requirements of
Hitachi Advanced Hydraulic Oil where an emulsifiable hydraulic oil
is recommended, and is fully compatible with the Hitachi fluid and
Hitachi seals and hoses.
Applications:
• Hydraulic equipment operating in environmentally sensitive areas
such as national parks, wildlife refuges, ski resorts and other
recreational areas
