John Deere Hy-Gard Transmission and Hydraulic Oil in 55 Gallon Drum AR69445

Hy-Gard transmission and hydraulic oil is a unique oil developed by John Deere engineers to meet the exact needs of John Deere machines. Hy-Gard viscosity places it between ISO 46 and 68 grades. Both Hy-Gard fluids are multi-viscosity fluids with high-viscosity index. Hy-Gard viscosity places it between ISO 46 and 68 grades. Hy-Gard may be used in many applications specifying either of these grades. Low-Viscosity Hy-Gard has the same performance specifications as Hy-Gard and can be used as a replacement for Hy-Gard in cold weather. Applications �        The exclusive Hy-Gard formula was designed for use in John Deere equipment; however, it can also be used in many non-John Deere transmission and hydraulic systems. Features and benefits �        Performance-tested both in lab and in field and approved by John Deere engineers to meet increased demands for performance and protection of transmissions and hydraulic oils. �        A polymeric viscosity improver helps Hy-Gard retain its proper viscosity over a wide range of operating temperatures. For Hy-Gard to work efficiently, it must flow readily through any part of the system. Oil that is too light can cause increased wear; too heavy will cause sluggish operation and lower mechanical efficiency. �        Reduces wet-brake chatter, assures high braking capacity. �        Superior wet-clutch performance smoothes clutch operation. �        High tolerance to water contamination without sludge formation, which could cause filter clogging and hydraulic system malfunction �anti-oxidation capability allows oil to work properly at high temperatures, helping keep transmissions and hydraulic system moving parts clean. �        Provides protection against rust and corrosion, particularly during low-use periods. �        Anti-wear additives keep gear and bearing wear to a minimum � extreme pressure film in Hy-Gard helps prevent metal-to-metal contact. Functions Because transmission and hydraulic oil must perform many different tasks at the same time, there is very little margin for error. To understand the complexity of transmission/hydraulic oil, let�s review its functions: �        Prevents wear of high-torque, heavy-loaded gears and bearings. �        Provides wear and corrosion protection for hydraulic pump. �        Provides proper friction for wet brakes to give maximum stopping performance with minimum chatter. �        Provides proper friction for clutches to engage and absorb shock loads without excessive slipping or abrupt shifts. �        Provides proper friction for brakes to ensure low chatter, long life, and high capacity. �        Withstands extreme pressures in hydraulic system without breaking down. �        Prevents the formation of deposits on all internal parts. �        Prevents foam and water damage to all internal parts. �        Hy-Gard oil can be used in most applications calling for 10W-30 or 5W-30 engine oil for transmission and hydraulic oils. Note: Hy-Gard should be used in all applications calling for JDM J20C. �        Low-Viscosity Hy-Gard should be used in all applications calling for JDM J20D. �        Low-Viscosity Hy-Gard and Hy-Gard are compatible with hydrostatic oil and can be added to systems that contain hydrostatic oil. John Deere does not monitor competitive or �will-fit� oils. While claiming to meet John Deere requirements, it is possible that the competitive or �will-fit� oils do not meet even the minimum performance requirements for John Deere machines, which could result in premature failures. Note: An industry classification for hydraulic/transmission oil does not exist. Each manufacturer establishes a minimum requirement that oils should meet for use in their equipment. John Deere has established a JDM J20 specification for minimum tractor performance hydraulic fluid. John Deere Hy-Gard and John Deere Low-Viscosity Hy-Gard exceed the performance of their JDM-J20 specification counterparts.  The performance requirements for Hy-Gard are higher and many more performance tests are mandatory.
