Castrol Hydraulic is primarily for use in hydraulic equipment, but is suitable for other duties in which lubricants with good
oxidation stability and lubrication performance are required. The quality of its base oils and additives permits the
application of the Castrol Hydraulic range in lightly loaded gears and for use as circulating oil in applications where a
