Mobile fleet and fixed plant applications play a key role in the day-to-day operation of a working mine. In the mining sector, heavy machinery often operates 24/7, under arduous working conditions. To sustain the reliability and productivity of these machines, using high quality hydraulic oil is paramount.

Hydraulic oil plays a pivotal role in the efficiency of these machines. The type of oil is also very important – lower viscosity lubricant performs better in colder conditions, and higher viscosity lubricant in hotter climates.

Gulf Western Oil established in 1988 and have been embracing the design of oil specifics and providing it to the Australian market. Using only the highest quality virgin-based oils, the company boasts some of the highest OEM approvals in today’s market.

To keep mining machinery and processing equipment in pristine condition, Gulf Western Oil provides the ideal solution:
