![]() ![]() The viscosity index number indicates the extent of thickness, or resistance to flow, with temperature changes. Viscosity rating is a measure of the oil’s resistance to flow or thickness, and is the single most important characteristic of hydraulic oil. Viscosity index should not be confused with viscosity it is an altogether different kind of rating. One of these other chemicals is a viscosity index improver. For these uses, petroleum oil is highly refined to remove undesirable chemicals while other chemicals, such as additives, are added to improve the oil’s performance. Petroleum-based hydraulic fluid has a variety of desirable characteristics, including lubricating and anti-wear properties, so it is often the preferred fluid for hydraulic systems.
