Grade checks
- KV40 is inside ISO VG 68 (61.2–74.8 cSt).
- Computed viscosity index is 150, within 2 points of the listed 150.
Viscosity and temperature
ASTM D341 (Walther) fitted to the published KV40 and KV100. It is an interpolation between those two points, and it is not meaningful below the pour point. Move the control to read a temperature.

Questions
Is Castrol Dual Range HV 68 an ISO VG 68 oil?
Yes. The catalogue lists it as ISO VG 68, which is a kinematic viscosity of 68 cSt at 40 °C, plus or minus 10 percent (61.2 to 74.8 cSt). Confirm the current data sheet before you fill a machine.
What is a Castrol Dual Range HV 68 equivalent?
Published oils in the same application and grade include Mobil Excel 68, Mobil Univis 68, Chevron Rando HDZ 68. The match is from typical data-sheet values, not from an OEM approval. It is not an exact equivalent. Confirm the substitute with the machine builder.
Can Castrol Dual Range HV 68 be mixed with another oil?
Mixing two oils that share a base family is sometimes done and sometimes a mistake. Do not mix this oil with a PAG. For any other mix, follow the maker's change-over guidance and the machine manual.
