Fuchs lubricants may be selected according to the applicable OEM specification rather than simply by machine brand. Always verify the equipment manufacturer’s lubrication requirement before ordering.

Why Choose Fuchs Lubricants?

Fuchs lubrication technology is designed to help equipment operators achieve:

Reliable equipment lubrication
Reduced component wear
Improved equipment protection
Reduced deposits and corrosion
Reliable performance under demanding conditions
Potentially longer service intervals where approved
Improved operational efficiency
Protection of expensive machinery components

FUCHS states that its lubricants are developed to reduce material wear and oil consumption, withstand demanding thermal loads and provide protection against corrosion and deposits.

How to Choose the Correct Fuchs Oil

Choosing the correct lubricant is more than simply selecting an oil by viscosity.

Before ordering Fuchs lubricants, provide:

Machine manufacturer
Machine model
Machine serial number
Engine model
Component requiring lubrication
Current oil or grease specification
Required viscosity
Operating temperature
Operating environment
Required quantity

Where possible, provide the machine’s lubrication chart or OEM service manual. This allows the correct product to be identified more accurately.

Tips for Buying Fuchs Lubricants in South Africa

1. Check the OEM Specification

Do not select oil based only on viscosity. Confirm the required OEM specification, performance level and application.

2. Identify the Component

Engine oil, hydraulic oil, transmission oil, final-drive oil and grease are not interchangeable.

3. Confirm Viscosity

Examples include ISO VG 32, ISO VG 46, ISO VG 68 and SAE grades. The correct viscosity depends on the equipment and operating conditions.

4. Consider Operating Conditions

Mining and construction machinery may operate under high loads, dust, water, heat and extended working cycles.

5. Check the Product Data Sheet

Review the technical specifications, approvals and application recommendations before replacing a lubricant.

6. Avoid Mixing Lubricants Without Verification

Different lubricant formulations may not be compatible. Confirm compatibility before mixing products.

7. Order According to Consumption

For mining and industrial operations, consider the machine fleet size, service intervals and monthly lubricant consumption when planning stock.

8. Provide the Part or Product Number

When requesting a quotation, provide the exact Fuchs product name or product number where available. This helps reduce quotation and supply errors.

Fuchs Food-Grade Lubricants

For food and beverage processing applications, FUCHS offers the CASSIDA range.
