Why older fleets need special care
As equipment ages, the space between moving parts widens and seals harden, causing higher oil consumption and leakage. Dust, heavy loads, and high operating hours accelerate oxidation. Using oils with strong detergents and dispersants, such as the Rymax Endurox LD 15W-40 Engine Oil, helps keep your engines clean and prevents deposit build-up.
The right oil for older machinery
Engines before the 2000s may not be compatible with ultra-low-viscosity oil. For these engines, heavier-duty products like Endurox HD 50 or 15W-40 Engine Oils, provide stronger protection without leaks. However, modern engines benefit more from a synthetic blend that improves fuel efficiency and reduces downtime.
Other systems need attention too
Older excavators and haul trucks often face operational and environmental stress. Long working hours in heat, combined with dust and humidity from open construction sites, can accelerate fluid degradation. Rymax Hydra AW 46, a hydraulic oil, is known for maintaining pressure stability and resists foaming in worn systems, while Rymax Gevitro GL-5 80W-90 Gear Oil is known for protecting gearboxes from pitting and wear.
