More about SWEPCO 512 Premium Performance Booster – For Conventional Hydraulic Oils

SWEPCO 512 Premium Performance Booster is specially formulated to upgrade the quality and performance of conventional hydraulic oils (mineral oil or PAO based) to a much higher level. With just one part SWEPCO 512 to 16 parts of hydraulic oil, a standard fluid is transformed into a premium performance hydraulic oil.

Key Benefits

  • Extends Oil Life – Powerful antioxidants improve thermal stability, slow oxidation and oil thickening, and typically extend oil life by 50% or more. This results in longer drain intervals, lower maintenance costs, reduced waste disposal, and less downtime.
  • Rapid Water Separation – Advanced demulsifiers deliver quick and complete water separation. Regular water removal extends both oil and equipment life while reducing the risk of rust and corrosion.
  • Prevents Leaks – Conditions seals and hoses to keep them pliable and helps stop small leaks. The built-in UV dye makes it easy to locate the source of stubborn drips and leaks. (Note: severely damaged seals must still be replaced.)
  • Reduces Wear & Ensures Smooth Operation – Friction modifiers and anti-wear additives protect pumps, valves, and actuators, extending service life. Foam inhibitors reduce foaming, cavitation, and surging for smoother pump operation.
  • Economical to Use – Simple 1:16 treatment ratio. For example, if a system requires 8 gallons (30 liters) of oil, only 0.5 gallon (1.875 liters) of SWEPCO 512 is needed.

Recommended Applications

SWEPCO 512 is ideal for use in:

  • Stationary hydraulic systems
  • Agricultural and forestry equipment
  • Forklifts and construction machinery
  • Waste collection vehicles, dump trucks, loaders, cherry pickers, skidders, and excavators

Limitations & Cautions

  • Not recommended for food grade, biodegradable, or used oils.
  • Do not use in silicone fluids, PAG, PEG, or ester-based hydraulic fluids.
  • Oils with a TAN (Total Acid Number) of 2.0 or greater should be replaced before using SWEPCO 512 to prevent corrosion.

For Ultimate Performance

SWEPCO 512 is an economical way to upgrade standard hydraulic oils from various brands to a much higher performance level. For the absolute best performance, we recommend SWEPCO 703 Synthetic Multi-Grade Hydraulic Oil or SWEPCO 704 Synthetic AW Hydraulic Oil.
