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.
AMSOIL synthetic compressor oils form
virtually no foam during ASTM D892 testing.
Sludge, Varnish, Lacquer and Carbon Control
Before AMSOIL, AMSOIL Compressor Oils’ unique synthetic base oil technology is
discharge is an inherently resistant to thermal and oxidative breakdown. These oils,
oil/water emulsion combined with premium anti-oxidants, 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.
Enhanced Efficiency
Because of AMSOIL Compressor Oils’ low frictional characteristics,
losses due to drag are minimized, and energy used for gas com-
pression 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 allow-
ing 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.

This guide provides general information to assist you in determining which AMSOIL product to use. Viscosity recommendations are based on normal operating temperatures.
Please consult the owners’ manuals for lubricant recommendations on your specific compressor units. Contact your AMSOIL representative or AMSOIL industrial for further information.
NOTE: Ingersoll-Rand SSR Ultra Coolant and Sullube 32 are not compatible with AMSOIL PC Series oils. Consult AMSOIL for flushing procedures.
