Sportsmen find many uses for Chevron Handy Oil, including lubrication of firearms of all types, fishing equipment, and as a protective coating on knife blades.

The low pour point of Chevron Handy Oil makes it an excellent hydraulic oil at very low temperatures.

The low viscosity of Chevron Handy Oil limits its use to relatively small types of equipment, not including heavy, shock-loaded machinery. It is an excellent low pressure (<1000 psi) hydraulic fluid.

Chevron Handy Oil is approved by the Cornell Pump Company for use as a barrier oil in low temperature, liquid ammonia pumps.
