AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils are Engineered to Help Improve Operating Efficiency and Reduce Costs

AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils offer a high-quality replacement for more expensive OEM-branded compressor oils

AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils are for Compressors of All Sizes

Maximize Productivity & Profitability
Air compressors play a vital role in industry. They deliver the energy needed to keep tools, equipment and machinery up and running, making money. Despite their crucial role in production, compressors generally are not foremost in the minds of maintenance technicians. Oil changes can be delayed – or forgotten completely – allowing cylinder and bearing wear, carbon buildup and corrosion to set in, leading to costly repairs. AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils are durable, reliable and affordable. They are engineered with advanced synthetic technology tailored to the unique demands of rotary screw, vane and reciprocating compressors so you can be confident your equipment is protected and running efficiently. And, while other synthetic compressor oils can top $100 a gallon, AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils often cost nearly half that without compromising quality, offering the best of both worlds.

• Outstanding quality at an affordable price

• Reliable protection

• Help increase productivity

Outstanding Protection
Compressor oils incapable of controlling elevated heat, carbon buildup and corrosion can lead to costly repairs. AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils resist the negative effects of severe service for long compressor life.

Heat Control
High heat leads to deposit formation. Deposit-covered valves cannot close completely, allowing hot, exhausted air back into the compression chamber, where it becomes increasingly hot when it is again compressed. Known as recompression, the problem is compounded as deposits build due to increasing heat in the compression chamber. Recompression erodes efficiency and can eventually result in a violent explosion. AMSOIL compressor oils inhibit or prevent the formation of carbon deposits on valves, limiting the detrimental effects of recompression.

Sludge, Varnish, Lacquer and Carbon Control
AMSOIL compressor oils’ unique synthetic technology is inherently resistant to thermal and oxidative breakdown. Combined with premium antioxidants, AMSOIL compressor oils eliminate or greatly minimize the formation of sludge, varnish, lacquer and carbon. In addition, their good solvency characteristics help clean systems and provide keep-clean performance.

Corrosion, Emulsion and Foam Control
AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils are stable in the presence of water and readily separate from water, helping prevent unwanted oil/water emulsions that inhibit an oil’s ability to lubricate. This provides longer lubricant life while allowing water to be easily drained from the sump. Top-quality rust-preventive additives offer dependable protection for components in the presence of water or process contaminants, while anti-foam agents ensure a consistent, protective oil film, even during highspeed, high-pressure operation.

Wear Protection
Formulated with a non-detergent additive system, AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils form a strong barrier on parts, helping prevent metal-tometal contact. They are designed to outperform competitive synthetic and petroleum compressor oils, decreasing wear and time spent performing maintenance, while increasing profits and component life.

All-Season Performance
Low pour points and good thermal stability allow AMSOIL compressor oils to be used over a wide temperature range, reducing the need for seasonal fluid changes. In cold temperatures, AMSOIL compressor oils provide easier starts and fast post-startup lubricant circulation. In hot temperatures, AMSOIL compressor oils ensure superior protection by maintaining a thick lubricating film between moving parts.

Greater Safety
AMSOIL compressor oils’ flash, fire and auto-ignition points are higher than those of competitive petroleum fluids, minimizing fire and explosion hazards. Their ashless additive systems and resistance to carbon deposit formation minimize ignition-promoting hot spots. Note: AMSOIL compressor oils are not fire-resistant compressor oils.

Cost Effective
Compressor oil affects not only compressor life, but profitability. AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils help cut maintenance costs, energy use and lubricant consumption, increasing profitability.

AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils Require Less Maintenance

Lower Maintenance Costs
AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils can be used up to 8,000 hours in rotary screw and vane compressors when used with oil analysis and a preventive-maintenance program. Compared to conventional oils, the extended drain intervals they provide reduce downtime, labor and disposal costs associated with lubricant changes.

AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils Keep Your Compressor On-the-Road

Outstanding Energy Efficiency
AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils’ low-friction properties minimize drag, which reduces heat and maximizes energy efficiency for gas compression. Maximum energy efficiency helps reduce operating costs.

Reduced Lubricant Consumption
AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils reduce oil carry-over to minimize the amount of oil lost through the air system. In addition, their excellent shear stability and resistance to volatility under extreme heat reduce oil consumption, saving money.

Your Oil Is Talking, Are You Listening?

Right now, the oil working in your compressor, crankcase, gearbox, or sump contains information that could be vital to the performance and productivity of your engine or equipment. Contaminants that can indicate wear or cause serious equipment damage such as metals, water, raw fuel, acids, fuel soot and other solids collect in your lubricant. Using oil analysis to evaluate these contaminants is a scientific approach to predictive maintenance, allowing you a look inside your machinery to spot mechanical wear and contamination in its early stages. You’ll extend machine life, head off major maintenance costs and prevent catastrophic failure that can shut down or leave you stranded, and you’ll maximize lubricant life.
