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
