The extensions of service-lives regarding hydraulic fluids is gaining prominence due to several considerations including environmental pollution, conservation of natural resources and the economic benefits associated with extended service-life. The presented methods for testing the durability and oxidation stabilities of hydraulic fluids can be simultaneously used in two ways. Firstly for comparing different hydraulic biooils and for selecting more adequate oils with higher oxidation stabilities and longer service lifetimes and secondly for the development of a prognostic model for an accurate prediction of an oil's condition and its remaining useful lifetime, which could help to extend the service life of the oil without concerns about damaging the equipment.

Keywords: hydraulic fluids, oil degradation, ageing tests, catalysts
