Semi synthetic engine oils
Posted by John from Morristown, NJ, US on May 8, 2007

What advantages will I see from using semi synthetic engine oils?

Semi synthetic engine oils differs from conventional (mineral) oils, in that they contain a percentage of synthetic base oils. These oils allow the lubricants to perform better in extreme conditions and longer in normal conditions. This will result in longer oil drain potential for most applications.

Multi viscosity hydraulic fluid
Posted by Ed from Omaha, NE, US on May 8, 2007

What advantages would a multi viscosity hydraulic fluid have over a traditional mono grade hydraulic fluid?

Multigrade hydraulic fluids have higher viscosity index. This means the fluid undergoes less viscosity change in response to temperature changes. This will result in the fluid maintaining it's critical characteristic, even in extreme hot conditions.
