Default Myth #3. New hydraulic oil is clean hydraulic oil.

http://www.hydacusa.com/literature/f...guidelines.pdf

New hydraulic oil straight from the drum, has a
typical cleanliness level of ISO 4406 23/21/18.

Check out the above guidlines document for visuals of the various ISO levels.

Now that number may not mean a lot to you, but it's
four cleanliness code levels below that considered
ideal for a high pressure, high performance hydraulic
system.

Looking at it another way, a 25 GPM pump operating
continuously in hydraulic oil at 23/21/18 will
circulate 3,500 pounds of dirt to the hydraulic
system's components each year...

To add hydraulic oil, and not the dirt,
always filter new oil prior to use in a hydraulic system.
