Mobil Aero HF Series ­ Aviation Hydraulic Fluids


Aviation Hydraulic Fluids
Product Description
Mobil Aero HFA and HF are formulated for aircraft systems where use of hydrocarbon­based hydraulic fluids is required. They
are low viscosity products, high VI (viscosity index) fluid with excellent low temperature properties, good anti­wear
performance, and good chemical stability. Mobil Aero HFA and HF are composed of mineral base oil stock and contain
shear­stable VI improvers.

Features and Benefits


Mobil Aero HF Series aviation hydraulic fluids are designed to meet the demanding requirements of commercial and military
aircraft applications. These high quality formulations have a long history of excellent performance and provide long, trouble­
free service over a wide range of operating conditions.

Product features and potential benefits include:

Features Advantages and Potential Benefits


Allows equipment operation over a wide range of
High Viscosity Index (VI)
temperatures
Provides high performance operation in low ambient
Excellent low temperature properties
conditions
Resists the formation of acidic constituents, varnishes, and
Good chemical and oxidation stability
deposits
Meets "super clean" requirements of U.S. Spec. MIL­PRF­5606Ensures reliable performance of pumps, servo­valves and
(Aero HF) other hydraulic system components

Applications
Mobil Aero HFA is a premium quality fluid that meets the quality requirements of the U.S. Military specification MIL­H­5606A
(now obsolete). It has a very high VI and is suitable for use at temperatures down to ­54 ºC (­65 ºF). While this quality fluid is
no longer used by the U.S. Military, it is still used in some older, small private, and commercial aircraft. It is also used in
industrial and commercial equipment requiring good fluidity at very low temperatures, where Mobil Aero HFA provides long,
trouble­free service over a wide range of operating conditions.

Mobil Aero HF is a premium quality fluid that is approved against the most current version of U.S. Military specification MIL­
PRF­5606. It has physical properties very similar to Mobil Aero HFA, and also meets "super­clean" requirements required by
modern aircraft hydraulic systems. It is intended primarily for military aircraft, but it is also used as a hydraulic fluid for small
private and commercial aircraft, and as a strut fluid in landing gear of large commercial aircraft. It is a NATO Code Number H­
515 fluid.
