Castrol Dual Range HV is a multi-viscosity lubricant engineered for today’s sophisticated hydraulic systems. Its robust formulation allows it to deliver performance and protection to keep equipment fully operational.
Castrol Dual Range HV is formulated with:
- Quality, high viscosity index base stocks
- Extremely shear stable polymers
- Premium antiwear additives
This quality-engineered formulation provides:
- Excellent antiwear protection
- Outstanding load-carrying capacity
- Cold temperature start-up protection
- Thermal stability
- 140 + viscosity index
Energy Savings – Castrol Dual Range HV delivers a pump efficiency advantage up to 22% over other commonly used hydraulic fluids by reducing fluid drag while minimizing stress on the hydraulic system during peak operating temperatures.
Surpasses key industry standards/tests:

Oxidation Control – Turbine Oil Oxidation Test (D 943)
Castrol Dual Range HV easily surpassed industry test limits for oxidation control, proving that it resists the formation of sludge, and protects against wear on iron and copper alloy components.
Cold Temperature Start-up – ASTM D 2983
Castrol Dual Range HV flows even in colder temperatures allowing it to reach critical components before hazardous start-up wear can occur.

Shear Stability – KRL Shear
Castrol Dual Range HV is highly shear stable providing consistent film strength and helping maximize hydraulic system efficiency.
Load Carrying – FZG Load Carrying Test at Stage 12
Castrol Dual Range HV’s load-carrying ability surpasses economy hydraulic fluid by 50%, and the industrystandard by 20%.
