Can I use a 5W-40 engine oil if my owner's manual recommends 5W-30?

In many cases yes, but it is best to follow your vehicle manufacturer's specification. The 40 indicates a slightly thicker oil at operating temperature; check that the oil still meets the API/ACEA and OEM approvals listed in your manual, or contact our team for advice on your specific vehicle.

What is the difference between hydraulic HM and HV grade oils?

HM oils are anti-wear hydraulic oils for systems operating at relatively stable temperatures, while HV oils have a higher viscosity index, meaning they maintain more consistent viscosity across a wider temperature range, making them better suited to outdoor or variable-temperature applications.

Cleaners

Greyhound Lubricants supplies industrial cleaners and degreasers for workshops, mines, food and beverage plants, transport fleets and general manufacturing across South Africa.

The range spans water-based degreasers, solvent cleaners, acid-based descalers, truck and vehicle shampoos, hand cleaners and sanitising products. Choosing between them comes down to the soil being removed and the surface being cleaned. Water-based alkaline products handle oil, grease and general grime on steel and concrete, and are the safer choice around staff and drains. Solvent cleaners cut heavy carbon, tar and adhesive residues where water-based products are too slow. Acid-based cleaners are used for scale, rust and cement residue, and need care around soft metals.

Always check dilution rates and surface compatibility before use, and rinse thoroughly on painted or plated surfaces. Bulk pack sizes available with nationwide delivery.
