Breakdown of results

Our comments The hydraulic fluid is generally in stable operating condition, with viscosity, TAN, and water levels all within acceptable ranges and showing no sign of degradation. The overall cleanliness level has significantly improved, achieving ISO 19/17/12, which is a notable improvement over the previous ISO 21/19/13. Copper remains elevated but trending downward, while other wear metals are neutral or improving. No signs of abnormal system stress are present. The system is currently assigned a B (Monitor) condition rating.

Physical properties

Contamination

Wear metals show a stable or improving trend overall. • Copper: 176 ppm ( ↓ from 231 ppm) • Still elevated, but significantly improving. • Common in systems with brass/bronze components or heat exchangers. - Despite copper still being high, all other wear indicators suggest no active abnormal wear.

All physical parameters remain within expected limits for a hydraulic oil in service. Viscosity 40°C: 56.8 cSt (previous 58.8 cSt) – slight reduction, normal for use - Viscosity Index: 120 ( ↑ from 108) – indicates more stable viscosity behaviour. Water 125 ppm (previous 141 ppm) Reduction indicates improved moisture control; well below critical levels. TAN (Acidity) 0.44 mgKOH/g (previous 0.41) Essentially stable; no oxidation concerns.

• Additive levels have increased modestly, consistent with top-up or natural depletion correction. • This profile is typical of a ZDDP based hydraulic package, and the increases

do not indicate contamination.

Recommendations / advisories -

1. Continue Using the SDU System – Cleanliness Improving - The unit is clearly performing well, evidenced by large particle count reductions. Continue operating unchanged. 2. Copper Trend Monitoring - Although copper is declining, continue monitoring: Possible sources: bushings, thrust washers, coolers - No action required yet due to improving trend and stable iron levels. 3. Moisture Control - Water content is falling and well within limits, but continued monitoring is advised: Ensure breathers are functioning Check reservoir sealing 4. Next Step: Aim for ISO 18/16/13 or better - With continued SDU filtration, achieving an extra code drop is realistic. 5. Maintain Routine Sampling - Another sample at the normal interval will confirm whether copper continues downward and cleanliness trends hold.

Additional Comments

OVERALL IMPROVEMENT SINCE PREVIOUS SAMPLE

There are clear and significant improvements across most metrics: The reason for the lab highlighting as amber is simply down to monitoring the copper – any upturn would need to be addressed – otherwise very good levels : Cleanliness • ISO improved from 21/19/13 → 19/17/12 • Particle counts reduced by 70 – 80% across all measured sizes Wear Metals

Contamination • Copper decreased from 231 → 176 ppm • Iron, lead, and PQ index all decreased This indicates less active wear and better filtration capture. Oil Health • Viscosity index increased • Water decreased • TAN remains stable Additives • Healthy increases likely due to minor top-up or normal blend variation. Summary: Wear

Additives

The hydraulic system shows meaningful overall improvement driven primarily by enhanced cleanliness achieved through the SDU9788KU85. Wear trends — especially copper — are moving in the right direction. No corrective action is currently required; continued monitoring is appropriate.

The benefits of cleansed, dry oils.

Proactive monitoring

Maintaining cleansed oil in large machines operating under heavy loads and in exposed environments provides significant benefits. Clean oil reduces abrasive wear, minimises the risk of component failure, and ensures hydraulic efficiency is maintained even under the toughest operating conditions.

By removing particulates, water, and other contaminants, the oil retains its protective qualities for longer, reducing unplanned downtime and costly repairs. This not only extends the life of critical components but also delivers greater reliability and productivity in demanding applications.

Primary Benefits These benefits are made possible through Kleenoil’s fine filtration and water removal, ensuring machines stay protected and productive even under the heaviest loads and harshest environments.

Extended Component Life

Improved Reliability

Lower Maintenance Costs

Sustained Efficiency

Clean oil minimises abrasive wear on pumps, valves, and cylinders, significantly extending the lifespan of critical hydraulic components

By reducing the risk of sticking valves, blocked ports, and premature wear, cleansed oil ensures more consistent performance and fewer

Cleaner oil reduces the frequency of major repairs and part replacements, lowering overall maintenance costs while keeping machines available for production.

With contamination under control, hydraulic systems maintain their designed efficiency, delivering full power and responsiveness even in

unexpected breakdowns.

harsh, exposed environments.

Recommendations / advisories -

Where particle counts are found to be elevated but with no corresponding issues in wear or oil condition, this is often a reflection of workload and the exposed operating environment rather than a fault within the system. In these cases, we recommend carrying out an interim Kleenoil filter change.

This is the most affordable and effective way to rapidly improve cleanliness in one step, helping to bring particle levels back under control. By doing this ahead of the next quarterly sampling, the system should demonstrate improved results and maintain a cleaner, more sustainable condition over the longer term.
