General Petroleum Hydraulic Oils
General Petroleum Hydraulic Oils
General Petroleum (GP) manufactures a range of high-performance hydraulic oils under names like Hydropac AW, HLP, and Premium Oils.
These oils are:
- Designed for high-pressure hydraulic systems
- Compliant with international standards like DIN 51524, Eaton, and Bosch Rexroth
- Available in various viscosities (ISO VG 32 to 460) for different operating conditions
- Known for thermal stability, anti-wear protection, and oxidation resistance
JCB Hydraulic Systems
JCB machines rely on precision-engineered hydraulic systems that demand:
- Ultra-clean hydraulic fluids (filtered down to 3 microns)
- Oils that offer up to 35% more anti-wear protection than generic alternatives
- Compatibility with servo controls and extreme temperature ranges
- Fluids like JCB Hydraulic Fluid OP 46, UP 32, and HP 32, each tailored for specific performance needs
Compatibility & Best Practices
While General Petroleum oils meet many global standards, JCB strongly recommends using their own branded hydraulic fluids to:
- Maximize machine efficiency
- Prevent premature wear
- Maintain warranty compliance
That said, if you're using GP oils in a JCB machine, make sure the oil:
- Meets DIN 51524 Part 3 (HVLP) or equivalent
- Has the correct viscosity grade for your climate and application
- Is certified by OEMs like Denison, Bosch Rexroth, or Eaton
