Hi Jrry, I cleaned up some hydraulic oil a couple years ago by just letting the oil sit in a covered container for about a year.

According to ASTM standards, clean #2 diesel has 500ppm of water content in suspension. You can not see the water in the oil but it's there. At 1000ppm then water falls out of suspension and that is the water you can drain off at the filter drain. I've never ran into the info on water content of clean ASTM hydraulic oil but the above diesel example should be some what accurate in comparrision. T_Bone
