Excavator Lubricants

Guangzhou Zhonghai Jiuchuan Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. supplies excavator lubricants for the hydraulic systems, diesel engines, final drives, swing drives, pins, bushings, bearings and other lubrication points of construction machinery.

Our excavator lubricant range is divided into two main categories:

  • Lubricating Oil

  • Lubricating Grease


Lubricating Oil for Excavators

Excavator lubricating oil is used in systems where the lubricant must circulate, transfer power, dissipate heat or protect enclosed moving components.

Depending on the excavator design, lubricating oil may be required for:

  • Hydraulic pumps and valves

  • Hydraulic cylinders and motors

  • Heavy-duty diesel engines

  • Final drives

  • Travel reduction gearboxes

  • Swing reduction gearboxes

  • Enclosed gear systems

  • Applicable transmissions and auxiliary systems

Using the correct excavator lubricating oil helps maintain a stable lubricating film, control wear, carry heat away from working components and protect metal surfaces against rust and corrosion.

Excavator Lubricating Grease

Excavator lubricating grease is used where oil cannot remain reliably at the contact surface or where the joint requires a lubricant with stronger adhesion and sealing ability.

Typical excavator grease points include:

  • Boom foot pins

  • Boom cylinder pins

  • Arm and boom connections

  • Bucket linkage

  • Bucket pins and bushings

  • Attachment connection points

  • Swing bearing grease points

  • Applicable support bearings

  • Manual and automatic lubrication systems

Pins and bushings operate at relatively low speed but under high load, repeated shock and oscillating movement. The grease must remain between the metal surfaces instead of being quickly displaced by pressure, water or contamination.

How to Select the Correct Excavator Lubricant

Selecting an excavator lubricant by price or product colour alone can result in poor lubrication, difficult cold starting, excessive heat or premature component wear.

Use the following selection process.

1. Identify the Lubrication Point

Confirm whether the product is required for:

  • Engine

  • Hydraulic system

  • Final drive

  • Swing gearbox

  • Pins and bushings

  • Swing bearing

  • Centralized lubrication system

  • Another specified component

2. Check the OEM Requirement

The excavator maintenance manual may specify:

  • SAE viscosity grade

  • ISO viscosity grade

  • API performance category

  • Gear-oil classification

  • NLGI grease grade

  • OEM fluid standard

  • Permitted temperature range

The required standard is more important than the general product name.

3. Confirm the Working Temperature

Cold weather requires sufficient low-temperature flow and pumpability. High ambient and component temperatures require the lubricant to maintain viscosity and resist oxidation.

Provide both the minimum and maximum operating temperatures when requesting technical selection assistance.

4. Evaluate the Load and Operating Cycle

Excavators used in mining, quarrying and demolition normally experience greater impact and loading than machines performing light landscaping or municipal work.

Operating hours, digging intensity, travel frequency and attachment type should all be considered.

5. Review Water and Contamination Exposure

Mud, rain, washdown water and airborne dust can affect lubricant performance.

Wet applications may require stronger water resistance and corrosion protection. Dusty applications require careful storage, clean handling and effective filtration to prevent abrasive contamination.

6. Confirm Compatibility

Do not mix lubricants solely because they have the same viscosity or NLGI grade.

Different products may use different:

  • Base oils

  • Additive packages

  • Grease thickeners

  • Performance standards

  • Seal-compatibility characteristics

When changing lubricant type, consult the machine manual or lubricant supplier regarding draining, flushing and grease compatibility.

Support for Different Excavator Types

Our excavator lubricant supply service can support lubrication requirements for:

  • Mini excavators

  • Compact excavators

  • Crawler excavators

  • Wheeled excavators

  • Long-reach excavators

  • Mining excavators

  • Demolition excavators

  • Material-handling excavators

  • Forestry excavators

  • Amphibious excavators

The oil capacity, lubricant specification and grease demand vary substantially between a compact excavator and a large mining machine. Model information should therefore be included with every enquiry.
