Indus ISO VG 72 hydraulic oil is an industrial grade lubricant having moderate viscosity. It is suited for moderate to heavy-duty industrial machinery.

Indus ISO VG 72 hydraulic oil is suitable for hydraulic systems that require a VG 72 oil. It finds its applications in construction, agriculture and manufacturing industries. Moreover, it is also used is certain gear boxes, slide ways and machinery used in food processing.

The key properties of VG 72 hydraulic oil include corrosion protection, thermal and oxidation stability and anti-foaming. It is a high-viscosity hydraulic oil that maintains its thickness at higher temperatures.

Owing to its moderate viscosity, Indus ISO VG 72 exhibits a good balance between flow properties and load-carrying capacity. It is suitable for most moderate to heavy-load machinery and equipment.

Theoretically, it is possible to mix hydraulic oils having similar viscosity grades but care should be taken and proper mixing guidelines should be followed.

As far as maintenance practices for hydraulic oil are concerned, it is crucial to inspect the oil condition on regular basis and carry out proper filtration to ward off the contaminants. Moreover, periodic inspection of seals and fitters is also recommended. 

Factors like operating conditions, equipment usage and physical condition play a crucial role in determining oil change interval. It is important to refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines to figure out the oil change interval if this hydraulic oil.
