Our pails of mobile oils have some but not that much gear oil is probably the worst hyd is the best lookingI never liked Pennzoil because the yellow jugs were about clear. I dont know if other oils have as much crud as pennz but you can see it in their jugs.
Color is not a gradable characteristic of hydraulic oil.
The other thought is they were empty buckets and it isn't mentioned where and how they were stored. Did they have vent holes on the lid? Was there water on the lids that could have drained down? Was the original contents poured out or pumped out. Were the buckets used for waste oil on some other project? Since waste oil was going back into them, why did it matter what was in them at this point?
Let me re-phrase that. Almost all new oil IS "dirty" (not though to be) in that it does not meet OEM minimum cleanliness standards of ISO 16/13 or better right out of the box. That is irrespective of the jug size from 1 gallon up to 55 gallon, 250-gallon totes, and bulk.That's why bucket oil is thought to be 'dirty' according to Nige.
Yes, I was referring to the ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code. IMHO it would be somewhat strange if a supplier that was making a sales pitch on the basis of an improved filtration process that resulted in better cleanliness of their product not to include this information in their documentation.To my knowledge, no product leaves the plant without going through the filtration process.
I assume you are referring to the ISO cleanliness code.
I have inquired with their Tech Dept. and will report back with their answer.
