AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils are designed for optimum compressor lubrication and protection. They extend compressor life and reduce maintenance costs by fighting all of the degradative processes found in compressor applications.

Heat Control

AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils have demonstrated temperature reductions of hot running equipment using conventional lubricants by as much as 40°F. This is due to the oil’s low coefficient of friction, low internal fluid friction and good thermal conductivity.

Sludge, Varnish, Lacquer and Carbon Control

AMSOIL Compressor Oils’ unique synthetic base oil technology is inherently resistant to thermal and oxidative breakdown. These oils, combined with premium antioxidants, result in oils that eliminate or greatly minimize the formation of sludge, varnish, lacquer and carbon. Also, the good solvency characteristics clean systems as well as provide keep-clean performance.

Corrosion, Emulsion and Foam Control

AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils are stable in the presence of water, and they readily separate from water. This prevents unwanted oil/water emulsions that inhibit an oil’s ability to lubricate. It allows for longer lubricant life, and it means water can easily be drained from the sump. The top-quality rust preventatives offer complete and dependable protection to components in the presence of water or process contaminants. And an uninterrupted film of protection is ensured by antifoam agents that keep the fluid foam-free even in high-speed, high-pressure operations.

Wear Protection

AMSOIL Compressor Oils’ non-detergent additive system is the last line of defense against wear. The additive system forms a strong barrier on parts, preventing metal-to-metal contact, and as the industry standard Four-Ball Wear Test (ASTM D4172) indicates, AMSOIL Compressor Oils outperform competitive compressor oils, even other synthetics. As a result, wear decreases, maintenance decreases, component life increases and you benefit financially.

All-Season Performance

Low pour points and good thermal stability allow AMSOIL Compressor Oils to be used in a wide temperature range. In cold temperatures, AMSOIL Compressor Oils provide easier starts and fast post start-up lubricant circulation to parts. In higher temperatures, AMSOIL Compressor Oils’ film strength maintains a thick lubricating film between moving parts, ensuring complete protection all season long. These features reduce the need for seasonal fluid changes and mean an overall savings for you.

Greater Safety

AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils make your plant a safer place to work by minimizing fire and explosion hazard. AMSOIL Compressor Oils’ flash, fire and auto-ignition points are higher than those of competitive petroleum fluids. Plus, their resistance to carbon deposit formation combined with the ashless additive system minimizes the incidence of ignition-promoting hot spots.

Your choice of compressor oil affects more than compressor life.  It affects profitability. With AMSOIL Compressor Oils, you will increase your profitability through lower energy consumption, lower lubricant consumption and lower maintenance costs.

Enhanced Efficiency

Because of AMSOIL Compressor Oils’ low frictional characteristics, losses due to drag are minimized, and energy used for gas compression is maximized. Also, little or no carbon forming on valves limits the detrimental effect of recompression, which is the result of hot air continually being recompressed due to deposits not allowing the exhaust valves to completely close during the intake stroke.  Increase in efficiency can result in reduced power consumption by as much as 7 to 8 percent.

Reduced Lubricant Consumption

AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils reduce fluid loss by readily separating oil from air in the separator, increasing the separator’s efficiency and reducing the likelihood of oil ending up downstream.  Also, their low volatility and excellent stability in the face of shearing forces and high temperatures leave more lube in the system, less lost to operations.

Lower Maintenance Costs

AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oils may be used up to 8000+ hours when used with a conscientiously applied oil sampling and preventative maintenance program. Extended drain intervals cut the downtime, labor and disposal costs associated with lube changes to an eighth of that required by conventional fluids.

AMSOIL Synthetic PC Series Compressor Oils

AMSOIL Synthetic PC Series Compressor Oils are made from high quality synthetic oils. They promote long compressor life through reduced component wear, corrosion protection and resistance to water degradation and lubricant breakdown.

Application Recommendations
AMSOIL Synthetic PC Series Compressor Oils are recommended for use in single-stage and multi-stage rotary screw, vane and reciprocating compressor crankcases and cylinders, vacuum pumps and other compressor applications. AMSOIL Synthetic PC Series Compressor Oils match compressor manufacturer viscosity recommendations. Available in five viscosity grades.

Peformance Features
AMSOIL Synthetic PC Series Compressor Oils are highly resistant to thermal and oxidative breakdown, which inhibits carbon build-up. The inhibition of carbon build-up promotes efficeient, normal temperature range operation.

AMSOIL Synthetic PC Series Compressor Oils are formulated to keep water from mixing with the oil and deteriorating its lubricating ability. AMSOIL Synthetic PC Series Compressor Oils are also formulated for easy water removal, with no need for specialized water removal processes.

Safety Advantage
AMSOIL Synthetic PC Series Compressor Oils' higher flash, fire and auto-ingnition points and reduced tendency to form carbon deposits makes them a reduced fire or explosion hazard as compare to conventional petroleum compressor oils.

SIROCCO™ SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oil

AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Synthetic Compressor Oil is a high quality long life fluid formulated with premium synthetic ester technology. SIROCCO™ effectively prevents wear, oxidation, foam and rust, while its inherent lubricity and thermal conductivity reduce heat and energy consumption, increasing operating efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

Application Recommendations
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Synthetic Compressor Oil is a multi-viscosity oil meeting the requirements of 5W-20. It may be sued in applications calling for either an ISO-32 or ASO-46 compressor oil or coolant and is recommended for use in single- and multi-stage rotary screw compressors and vacuum pumps that call for this viscosity.

Performance Features
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Synthetic Compressor Oil maintains performance across a wide operating temperature range. Its low pour point, high viscosity index and lack of paraffins (wax) make it an excellent all-season lubricant.

SIROCCO™ is also highly resistant to water. It prevents damaging oil/water emulsions, allowing for longer lubricant life and ease of water removal from the sump.

AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Synthetic Compressor Oil resists oxidation, foaming and rust for extended drain performance. It is also biodegradable under the CEC-L33-A94 standard.

AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Synthetic Compressor Oil has higher flash fire and auto ignition points than competitive petroleum oils. Its resistance to carbon formation and its ashless additive system minimize the incidence of deposits acting as ignition-promoting hot spots.

AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Synthetic Compressor Oil safely replaces PAG type compressor oils, such as Ingersoll-Rand SSR Ultra-Coolant^® or Sullair Sullube 32^®, following normal oil change procedures, without extensive flushing.
