Hydraulic oil Ignorance

Yup! I admit it! Most of what I know about hydraulic oil I learned from this site, so I mostly know to watch for #134! Saturday I bought a pallet of stuff on online auction. When I picked it up today there were 2 2 gallon jugs of "Farm Rated" brand hydraulic oil from "Fleet Wholesalers" that say AW46.
Any idea what it is & if I should use it? Fortunately I was buying some Ford parts, so it's OK if I just picked up some cheap penetrating oil!
Thanks!

that is just a standard hydraulic oil , being 46 viscosity. more of a summer time oil. winter vis would be 32 it is not a hyd. transmission
oil.

It is a hydraulic oil normally used for these applications.
Hydraulic Systems
Air Compressors and Vacuum Pumps
General Purpose Lubrication
Oil-Bath Air Cleaners
Hand Oilers for Machine Parts, Bearings, Cams, Gears.

Thanks guys! Looks like I have a few gallons of oil for my leaky hydraulic jack!

I don't know who Fleet Wholesalers are, never heard of them, but you yes, the subject of hydraulic oil has been discussed to death. The FORD OEM spec, MC-134D oil for
39-52 models, is no longer made. New Holland used to sell it, but now only wants to stock the synthetic stuff for the newer Boomers. Some CNH dealers may have some
pails in stock but, they do not make it now. OPTIONS: NAPA SAE 90 GL-1 and TSC Traveller GL-1 SAE 90. The latter is probably the lowest (cheapest) cost. I've used all
of these brands with no problems whatsoever and I live in mid-Michigan where it gets cold in winter, occasionally summer too. NOW, you said you have read all on oils
here so the recommendation now is to use any UTF Oil - a GL-2 grade and alledgedy works better in cold climates. There are some like the 303 stuff that should be
avoided at all costs. Always red teh label. Any doubts, look up the product with an MSDS document; just plug in keywords 'msds and the brand/product... Your tractor,
your money, your choice.

A MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet, now named SDS) gives the chemicals/materials in the product, safety info, disposal info, firefighting info, etc. and is required to be available by law.

I think you meant to say PDS. Different manufacturers may have different names for the information document for the specifications a product meets. A few common names are: PDS (Product Data Sheet), TDS (Technical Data Sheet), and TIS (Technical Information Sheet). There are some of the aftermarket oils that I haven't been able to find any PDS for, those I would definitely stay clear of.

And hopefully meant GL4 when describing UTF.
