Kleen Grean

[Earl Weiss]

Anyone using the Kleen Rite water based hydraulic oil. Lots cheaper than current product.

 

[MC3033]

Yep. Compared to regular oil it runs a bit hot and needs to get changed more often

compared to other “non oil” hydraulic fluids it is comparable

We tried it (more than 5 years ago) and had a rash of hydraulic hose failures. Maybe completely unrelated, maybe just a compatibility issue with the hoses we use, I don't know but we stopped using it.
We use Aquablue, expensive but when we returned to Aquablue the hose failures went back to a normal rate.

Most hydraulic hoses are designed to have oil go through them. Water going through invites rust with the wire re enforcement and then ruptures.

I mostly use this type. No wire. https://www.sonnysdirect.com/sonnys...raulic-1-2in-Black-100ft/p/000000000040010256

Ron, are the SELFIT fittings reusable?

 

[Back4More]

No, they are made for 100R7 hydraulic hose and once they go on they are permanent.
