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

- 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.
