Biodegradable hydraulic oils
The use of biodegradable hydraulic oils must in any case be discussed with LIEBHER MINING EQUIPMENT COLMAR SAS.
Do not mix biodegradable hydraulic oils from different suppliers and never mix with mineral oils.
Do not use vegetable oils as they do not possess the necessary thermal stability. Depending on the temperature range, LIEBHERR recommends its poly-alpha-olefin (PAO, HEPR) oils, that are biodegradable according to CEC-L-103-12 (21 days, > 60%, primary decomposition):
Liebherr Hydraulic Plus or Liebherr Hydraulic Plus Arctic
If these oils are not available locally or if further specifications are required, use one of the following oils (before choosing an oil, contact our Customer Service):
Fully saturated synthetic ester-based oils, HEES
Depending on the temperature range, the viscosity grade of the HEES oil must conform to the above specifications for hydraulic oils.
Caution!
LIEBHERR recommends to limit the use of HEES oils to areas where HEES oils are mandatory by local regulations.
Lifetime of components made out of rubber material such as hoses, seals, compensators might be reduced while using HEES oils!
When mixing ester-based biodegradable hydraulic oils with mineral oils, there is a risk of agressive chemical reactions, which might damage the hydraulic equipment.
Hydraulic oil selection for cold climate conditions
When a LIEBHERR Mining excavator works under cold climates conditions, in any case, the appropriate arctic kit must be installed.
Oil must match the above prescription for engine oils or hydraulic oils. ature must be at least 5 K below the minimal air ambient temperature.
> 160°C (recommended > 200°C).
The operating range of the arctic oil depends on the ambient air temperature and must be checked as follow:
+50°C (oil temperature) must be over 16 cst.
In this case, the fans speed regulation "EXTRA-COLD" must be selected.
+60°C (oil temperature) must be over 16 cst. In this case, the fans speed regulation "EXTRA-COLD" or "COLD" must be selected.
+70°C (oil temperature) must be over 16 cst. In this case, the fans speed regulation "COLD" must be selected.
Contact LIEBHERR Customer Service for additional questions about oil selection.
Oil mixing
In principle, oil mixing between two different oil types must be avoided. Mixing two different oil types leads to an unknown lubricant with resultant unknown physical copyright © Liebherr-Mining Equipment Colmar SAS 2020
Lubricating and operating material specifications properties (viscosity, pourpoint, flash point, ageing behaviour, lubricity, reaction with additives...).
However, if mixing is absolutely necessary, respect the following maximum mixing proportions: or LIEBHERR oils with mineral oils, or hydraulic oils with mineral oils, or two different mineral oils together, or two different hydraulic oils together: max. 10% max. 2% or mineral oils or LIEBHERR oils:
Hydraulic oil change intervals
Oil changes at pre-set intervals (mineral oils and PAO oils only)
This procedure is applicable only for mineral oils and PAO oils. If you use HEES biodegradable oil, refer to the next section.
A Mineral oils and PAO oils hOperating hours
Liebherr recommends that you sample the hydraulic oil every 500 operating hours (refer to the section "Condition monitoring with oil analysis"). Change the hydraulic oil every 2000 operating hours.
Oil changes at optimized intervals
This procedure is applicable for mineral oils, PAO oils and HEES biodegradable oils.
A Mineral oils and PAO oils
B HEES biodegradable oils h Operating hours
1 First oil sample
2 Second oil sample
3 Next oil samples at regular intervals
You can extend the oil change intervals (up to 6000 operating hours and possibly even more) as long as the properties of the oil are satisfactory. Get a sample of the new hydraulic oil.
If you use mineral oil or PAO oil, you must sample the hydraulic oil every 500 operating hours after the first 1500 operating hours.
If you use HEES biodegradable oil, you must sample the hydraulic oil every 250 operating hours.
Change the hydraulic oil immediately if the results of the analysis are not satisfactory (refer to the section "Condition monitoring with oil analysis").
5.5.3Swing and travel gear oils
Note!
For a given machine operating temperature range, and if different viscosity grades are approved according to the following specifications, always choose the lubricant with the highest viscosity grade.
Caution!
Gears flushing is necessary when switching from mineral oil to synthetic oil. Use new oil to flush the gear when switching from mineral oil to synthetic oil. Flushing with cleaning fluid or Diesel fuel is not permitted.
Use gear oil meeting following viscosity classes and specifications (depending on the ambient temperature):

(below -20°C) and are mandatory for operations below -40°C.
Additional requirement:
Grease mixing
When the grease is changed from one type of grease to another, the basic recommendation is to remove all the old grease from the system. However, the full removal from the system is not possible especially in the swing ring and in the swing gear bearings.
The compatibility of two different greases is not given and can cause catastrophic lubrication failures. Lubricating greases made of different thickener base must never be mixed together. Not only the thickener type, but also the basic oil and the additives treatments have to be considered. The compatibility of greases should be evaluated according to ASTM D6185. Furthermore, a written statement of the lubricant supplier must justify greases compatibility.
