| When to Use Silicone Synthetics |
|
| Silicone synthetic lubricants are used when resistance to oxidation, heat and/or water is important and the performance of other types of lubricants is unacceptable. Applications include high-temperature grease and the lubrication of oxygen compressors. Negatives for using silicone synthetics include high cost, poor boundary lubrication and poor additive solvency (they don’t accept extreme pressure and anti-wear additives).

| Diesel engines can use more than 20,000 times more air than fuel on a volume basis, and airborne dirt frequently is abrasive to engine components. Learn why air filtration is vital for avoiding premature engine wear and why regular attention is required to assure efficient filtration without causing air restriction and intake system leaks. |

In this case study, the hydraulic fluids in large and small farm equipment were changed out to biodegradable fluids. A field test was initiated, and periodic samples were randomly taken and analyzed. Samples were analyzed for metals, acid number, water and contaminants. Find out the results of the tests as well as the incentive to convert to more expensive biodegradable hydraulic fluids.
