The invention concerns a lubricating fluid comprising: 1) a predominant amou nt of oil with appropriate lubricating viscosity; and 2) between 0.03 % and 0.06 % of a filterability-enhancing agent correspondin g to the following formula: R-Z in which Z represents: (i) a succinic ester acid comprising the reaction product of succinic anhydride and an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol; or (ii) a succinimide comprising the reaction product of succinic anhydride and a polyamine, said reaction product being subjected to a postcure with a cyclic carbonate, boric acid or a boric acid derivative; and R represents a polyolefin having a molecular weight (Mn) of 500 to 2500 and a Mw/Mn ratio of 1 to 5. This fluid is particularly suitable for hydraulic systems a nd has improved filterability characteristics.
