Elevator Oil
BioFlo Elevator is formulated from readily biodegradable, high lubricity base oils coupled with proprietary non-toxic rust and anti-corrosion additives. The special rust & oxidation (R&O) additives and anti-foam agents help provide maximum demulsibility of water and reduce air entrainment to provide higher circulation rates. This high-performance formula can reduce operating temperatures, friction and component wear in elevator hydraulic systems. Excellent thermal and oxidative stability assures superior service life with minimal viscosity change over a broad range of operating temperatures.
BioFlow Elevator fluid is available in ISO grade 32.
- High viscosity index / temperature stability

Frequently Asked Questions
What Kind of Oil Do Elevators Use?
While not all elevators use hydraulics the ones that do require a hydraulic fluid that is formulated with the consistent performance and safety needs of an elevator in mind. Hydraulic Elevators typically use hydraulic elevator oil, usually an ISO viscosity grade hydraulic fluid selected according to the elevator system manufacturer’s requirements. The oil must provide dependable lubrication, protect against rust and corrosion, resist oxidation, separate from water, and help reduce foaming or air entrainment.
BioBlend BioFlo Elevator Oil 32 is formulated specifically for elevator hydraulic systems. It is made from readily biodegradable, high-lubricity base oils combined with proprietary non-toxic rust and anti-corrosion additives. Its rust and oxidation additives and anti-foam agents help provide water demulsibility and low air entrainment, supporting higher circulation rates and smooth hydraulic performance.
Should I Use AW32 or AW46?
Whether to use AW32 or AW46 depends on the elevator manufacturer’s recommendation, the system design, operating temperature, and performance needs. In general, AW32 is lighter and flows more easily at lower temperatures, while AW46 is thicker and may be used where the system calls for a higher-viscosity hydraulic oil.
Always confirm the required viscosity grade in the equipment manual or with the elevator service provider before changing oil types.
How Often Should Elevator Oil Be Changed?
Elevator oil change intervals depend on the elevator manufacturer’s recommendations, usage level, operating temperature, contamination, water exposure, and routine oil analysis results. In many hydraulic elevator systems, oil is not changed on a fixed calendar schedule alone; it is monitored for signs of oxidation, viscosity change, contamination, water, foaming, or performance issues.
BioBlend BioFlo Elevator Oil 32 is designed for excellent thermal and oxidative stability, which helps support long service life with minimal viscosity change over a broad range of operating temperatures. Its formula can also help reduce operating temperatures, friction, and component wear in elevator hydraulic systems.
For best results, follow the elevator OEM’s maintenance guidance and use regular oil analysis or service inspections to determine when the fluid should be changed.
