Sounds like a bunch of techno-babble to me. Seems to contradict itself, but not committing to a specific outcome. When oil is used mostly for lubrication, I can see that it would become contaminated with residue from the friction of the moving parts. In an engine, there is always some blow by that contaminates the oil. BUT....at the same time, back in the '70s, I recall a number of "old timers" insisted that re-refined oil was the best thing to use because it had already had the paraffin burned out of it. There was no talk of oil breakdown. I would think that oil used in a hydraulic system would last a long time, and would eventually become contaminated with material from the pump or cylinders it operates. I would think that things like residue from combustion, wear from moving parts, and heat would be the determining factors in deciding when oil should be changed. Keep in mind that not everything you read on the 'net is factual or truth. The oil producers have a vested interest in selling you more oil. The equipment makers have a vested interest in making your equipment last longer (but not TOO long ). These days, it seems that everybody has an agenda.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
