Abstract: In one embodiment, a hydraulic oil with favorable seal swell is disclosed. The hydraulic oil comprises, a major amount of base stock, an antiwear additive, a phosphorous containing additive wherein the phosphorous comprises at least 10 ppm and less than 2500 ppm of the hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil contains less than 200 ppm zinc and less than 100 ppm sulfur, wherein the ratio of phosphorous to metal ratio is chosen to obtain a favorable seal swell performance with at least a ratio of 0.5 and less than 20. In a second embodiment, a method to improve seal swell is disclosed. In a third embodiment, a method of formulating an oil to improve seal swell performance is disclosed. In a fourth embodiment, a method of improving seal swell is disclosed. The method uses a system cleaner for hydraulic systems comprising CaSo4.

Abstract: Methods for achieving favorable efficiency properties are disclosed including methods for blending a lubricant composition and lubricant compositions. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of obtaining at least one base stock and at obtaining at least one base stock chosen to have a favorable air release properties, obtaining at least one additive, blending at least one base stock and at least one additive to achieve a favorable effective bulk modulus through air release property, bulk modulus, and using a relationship between density and bulk modulus.

Abstract: Methods for achieving favorable air release properties, methods for blending a lubricant composition and lubricant compositions are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of obtaining at least one base stock and at least one thickener, blending the base stock(s) and the thickener wherein the treat rates of the base stock and thickener are chosen to achieve a favorable air release property using a relationship between the thickener, lubricant viscosity, and viscosity of at least one base stock.
