Description
Product Description
Castrol HYSPIN HVI 100 is a high-viscosity-index, zinc-free anti-wear hydraulic oil designed for severely stressed hydraulic systems, cold-start applications, wide-temperature operation, off-highway and marine equipment, and precision industrial machinery. Key applications include earthmoving equipment, mobile hydraulic systems, agricultural machinery, marine equipment, machine tools and hydraulic systems requiring ISO VG 100 high-VI, zinc-free anti-wear performance. The HYSPIN HVI range is formulated from carefully selected mineral base oils with an ashless additive system to provide high anti-wear performance, good thermal and oxidative stability, and reliable operation across changing temperatures.
Castrol positions HYSPIN HVI for hydraulic systems requiring high viscosity index and high anti-wear performance, particularly where equipment experiences wide temperature variations or severe operating conditions. The formulation is also designed to provide good filtration performance and compatibility with commonly used hydraulic-system sealing materials.

- Supports reliable operation under high pressure
- Helps reduce component wear
- Suitable for severely stressed hydraulic systems
Thermal & Oxidation Stability
- Helps resist lubricant degradation
- Supports longer oil and equipment service life
- Provides reliable performance during continuous high-temperature operation
Filtration Performance
The HYSPIN HVI range is designed for hydraulic systems requiring fine filtration, helping support the cleanliness requirements of modern hydraulic equipment.

- Nitrile
- Silicone
- Fluorinated polymers such as Viton®
Typical Properties
For the exact HYSPIN HVI 100, I recommend not publishing numerical viscosity, density, flash point or pour-point values unless they are taken from the current product-specific PDS. The current Australian Castrol catalogue confirms the product and ISO VG 100 positioning, while the available Australian SDS identifies the exact product as Hyspin HVI 100, product code 466692.
| Property | Value |

The Australian SDS identifies the product's relevant use as hydraulic fluid and confirms that the product is not classified under the Australian GHS criteria.
Important Product Note
HYSPIN HVI 100 should not be confused with HYSPIN AWH 100 or HYSPIN AWH-M 100. These are different Castrol hydraulic-fluid families with different additive technologies.
- HYSPIN HVI 100: high-VI, zinc-free/ashless anti-wear hydraulic oil.
- HYSPIN AWH: high-VI hydraulic oil with a viscosity-index improver.
- HYSPIN AWH-M: high-VI mineral-based anti-wear hydraulic lubricant with a stabilised zinc additive system.
Castrol's Australian product information clearly distinguishes these product families.
Storage
Store in the original sealed container in a clean, dry location away from excessive heat, direct sunlight and moisture.
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Prevent contamination with water, dirt, dust and other lubricants.
Health & Safety
The current Australian SDS identifies Hyspin HVI 100 as not classified under the Australian GHS criteria and states that no signal word or hazard statement is required. However, repeated contact may cause skin defatting.
High-pressure hydraulic injection is a serious medical emergency. Hydraulic fluid injected through the skin can cause severe injury even when the external wound appears minor.
Refer to the latest Castrol SDS for detailed handling, first-aid and disposal requirements.
