Common Questions

Hydraulic & Compressor Oils Products FAQs

Answers to the questions we are most commonly asked by garages, fleet operators, and motor factors. For vehicle-specific advice, contact our technical team directly.

Hydraulic oil is designed to transmit power and lubricate components within a closed hydraulic circuit — pumps, valves, cylinders and seals. Compressor oil is formulated for the heat and pressure cycling generated inside an air compressor, and in rotary screw units, for efficient separation from compressed air. The two are not interchangeable; always use the product specified for your equipment.

The required ISO viscosity grade is specified by the equipment manufacturer and depends on operating temperature, system pressure and component type. Common hydraulic grades are ISO VG 32, 46 and 68. The Gem Oils technical team can confirm the correct grade for your system if you provide the equipment make, model and operating conditions.

Change intervals depend on the equipment manufacturer’s recommendation and operating conditions. In many industrial applications, oil condition monitoring or analysis is used to determine the actual change point rather than relying solely on a fixed interval. Contact Gem Oils for guidance on oil analysis services.
