How to Improve Hydraulic Efficiency Hydraulic efficiency in terms of hydraulic fluid depends on a few factors, all of which relate to the viscosity of the fluid. Low viscosity results in a loss of volumetric effi- ciency, overheating and wear. High viscosity leads to poor mechanical efficiency, diffi- culty starting up and wear. Check out this article on the ML site to understand how to significantly improve the efficiency of your hydraulic equipment.
