[QUOTE="mac5005, post: 734272, member: 4650"] There are so many AW hydraulic fluid viscosities but only a few are similar to dex3merc I have some related info on this, I’ll have to find this evening. Even in the same AW/ISO grade different brands have very different properties hot/cold. What is also important is to look at the viscosity index #. The higher it is, the more consistent the viscosity is between cold/hot and the more expensive the fluid will be. That also doesn’t mean the more expensive brand is better. But a higher viscosity index is generally more expensive oil bc it’s better. This equates to the fluid not breaking down as fast at higher temps and losing its lubrication properties and it feeling more consistent at different temps. [/QUOTE]
