We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Hydraulic Oils", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Lubricant oil cleaning module cuts disposal costs from Alfa Laval, which we summarised at the time by saying "An oil cleaning module removes water and sludge from mineral-based lubricating and hydraulic oils to improve their efficiency, extend their working life and cut replacement and disposal costs". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Metalworking fluids management meets HSE rules from Houghton Plc: "Metalworking fluids supplier is able provide a service package, which enables users to meet the new HSE Guidelines for management of metalworking fluids".
 
In April 2007, we covered the news from Kittiwake Developments concerning its Fuel and Lubricating Oil Viscosity Measurement - take a look at Fuel and lubricating oil viscosity measurement which says: "Kittiwake has introduced oil-viscosity measuring devices to measure hydraulic oil, lubrication system and fuel oil viscosity - a key indicator of oil condition".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin Filtration Division, Brochure shows how to cut hydraulics costs, as well as Careful hydraulic oil choice maximises performance from Shell Lubricants, and Oxidation products in hydraulic oils removed from QSCD.
