CITGO AW’s are formulated with the newest technology which utilizes a lower zinc level. CAT requires a minimum of 900 ppm Zinc (anti-wear agent) along with emulsifiers to disperse small amounts of water throughout the hydraulic system. Most industrial hydraulic oils do not meet these specifications.
