Polyalphaolefin 4, commonly known as PAO 4, is a low-viscosity synthetic hydrocarbon base oil. It has a nominal kinematic viscosity of approximately 4 cSt at 100°C and is widely selected for lubricant formulations requiring low-temperature flow, viscosity stability and controlled volatility.

Overview of Polyalphaolefin 4
Polyalphaolefin 4 is produced from linear alpha-olefin feedstocks through controlled oligomerisation and hydrogenation. This process creates a stable synthetic base oil with consistent viscosity and good low-temperature behaviour.
The number “4” refers to the approximate viscosity grade at 100°C. It does not indicate product concentration or purity.
Its main buyers include engine-oil manufacturers, transmission-fluid formulators, hydraulic-fluid companies, compressor-oil producers, industrial lubricant manufacturers and grease companies.
PAO 4 can be used as the main synthetic base stock or blended with PAO 6, higher-viscosity PAOs, synthetic esters and other compatible base fluids to achieve the required finished-lubricant viscosity.
Applications of Polyalphaolefin 4
Automotive Engine Oils
PAO 4 is used as a synthetic base oil in passenger-car motor oils, heavy-duty engine oils and other automotive lubricant formulations.
Its low viscosity supports oil circulation during cold starting, while its high viscosity index helps maintain useful viscosity as the operating temperature increases. Controlled volatility can also support the development of lower-evaporation engine oils.
Finished engine oils require a suitable additive package and testing against the applicable viscosity grade and performance standards.
Automatic and Manual Transmission Fluids
Transmission-fluid manufacturers use PAO 4 in selected automatic transmission fluids, manual transmission fluids and other driveline lubricants.
Its low-temperature flow can support reliable fluid circulation during cold operation. Its synthetic hydrocarbon structure also provides a stable base for high-performance formulations.
Formulators should evaluate friction characteristics, shear stability, seal compatibility and additive response in the complete finished fluid.
High-Performance Hydraulic Fluids
PAO 4 is used in synthetic hydraulic fluids for industrial machinery, construction equipment and mobile hydraulic systems.
Its low-temperature viscosity helps the fluid circulate through pumps, valves and narrow passages during cold operation. Hydraulic-fluid manufacturers should evaluate anti-wear performance, air release, filterability, demulsibility and seal compatibility.
The finished viscosity grade should match the equipment manufacturer’s recommendation.
Industrial Machinery Lubricants
Industrial lubricant manufacturers use Polyalphaolefin 4 in circulating oils, bearing oils, spindle oils and general machinery lubricants.
It is suitable for formulations requiring low-temperature performance, oxidation stability and consistent viscosity. PAO 4 may also be blended with higher-viscosity base oils where additional oil-film thickness is required.
Final performance depends on the operating temperature, equipment load, additive system and required service interval.
Air and Gas Compressor Oils
PAO 4 is used in selected air-compressor and gas-compressor oil formulations requiring low-temperature flow and thermal stability.
Formulators should confirm compatibility with the compressed gas, seals, coatings and other lubricant components. The final lubricant must meet the viscosity and performance requirements specified by the compressor manufacturer.
Low-Temperature Synthetic Greases
Grease manufacturers use PAO 4 as a low-viscosity synthetic base fluid in selected lithium, lithium-complex and other compatible grease systems.
It can support greases developed for bearings, electric motors, precision equipment and machinery operating at low temperatures. Finished performance depends on the base-oil blend, thickener and additive package.
