What kind of hydraulic oil is most harmful: analysis of hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days
Recently, equipment failures and safety hazards caused by improper addition of hydraulic oil have become a hot topic in the industry. This article combines hotspot data from the entire network in the past 10 days to analyze the hazards of mixing hydraulic oil with wrong substances, and provides structured data for reference.
1. Ranking of hazards of incorrect additives in hydraulic oil

| Additive type | Hazard level | main impact | Typical cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| water or other liquid | ★★★★★ | Emulsification, deterioration and corrosion of metal parts | The hydraulic system of an excavator was paralyzed |
| Different types of hydraulic oil | ★★★★ | Chemical reaction, seal expansion | Forklift hydraulic pump abnormal wear |
| Engine oil/gear oil | ★★★☆ | Abnormal viscosity and increased foaming | Injection molding machine pressure is unstable |
| solid particulate impurities | ★★★ | The valve core is stuck or the cylinder is scratched. | Construction machinery moves slowly |
2. In-depth analysis of hot search events
1.#Mixed cooking oil causes production line shutdown#Events (Reads: 12 million+)
An employee of a food factory mistakenly added vegetable oil to the hydraulic system, causing high-temperature carbonization to block the filter element, resulting in a direct economic loss of more than 500,000 yuan.
2.#Antifreeze mixed with hydraulic oil#Topics (discussion volume: 83,000)
A logistics fleet in the north mistakenly added antifreeze in winter, causing the hydraulic oil to emulsify, and 18 forklifts reported for repair at the same time.

3. Professional maintenance suggestions
1.Strictly follow the equipment manual: Hydraulic oil with specified viscosity such as ISO VG32/46/68 should be used at different working temperatures.
2.Implement three-level filtering: Filling port filtration (20μm), circulation filtration (10μm), servo system filtration (3μm)
3.Regularly monitor indicators: The moisture content should be <0.1%, the acid value change rate should be <15%, and the cleanliness should reach NAS level 9
4. Comparison of hazard prevention data
| Precautions | Failure rate decreases | cost input | Difficulty of implementation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Special refueling equipment | 62% | middle | ★★★ |
| Oil product identification management | 45% | Low | ★★ |
| Employee training and assessment | 78% | high | ★★★★ |
The recent Baidu Index shows that the search volume for "hydraulic oil pollution" has increased by 210% month-on-month, indicating that the industry's attention continues to rise. Proper use and maintenance of hydraulic systems can effectively extend the life of equipment by 3-5 years. It is recommended that companies establish a complete hydraulic oil management system.
