AMSOIL PC
Series Synthetic Compressor
Oil is a long-life, premium
compressor lubricant based
on novel, proprietary
technology. It incorporates
the highest quality,
thermally stable PAO
synthetics fortified with
premium non-detergent,
ashless additives for
maximum protection at high
temperatures and pressures.
It lasts up to eight times
longer than petroleum oils,
effectively reducing
maintenance and waste oil
disposal costs.
Improves Compressor
Efficiency
A MSOIL PC Series Oil has
low friction properties and
resists viscosity increase
from oxidation. It helps
improve operating efficiency
and saves money on
electrical energy
consumption.
Controls Foam and Reduces
Wear
AMSOIL PC Series Oil
contains anti-foam additives
and, unlike some other
compressor oils, is
anti-wear fortified. Good
foam control reduces heat,
oxidation and wear. High
contact regions are
protected against wear for
increased compressor life
and efficiency.
Resists Water Contamination
Water from condensation
builds up in compressors and
can cause unwanted oil/water
emulsions, environmental
discharge hazards and rust.
AMSOIL PC Series Oil is
hydrolytically stable. It
resists acid formation,
readily separates from water
and is anti-rust fortified.
Water can be easily drained
for simplified environmental
discharge and increased oil
life.
Resists Heat and Oxidation
AMSOIL PC Series Oil
combines the inherent
stability of premium
synthetic base oils with
specialized anti-oxidant
additives to resist varnish,
carbon and acid formation.
It is formulated to protect
compressors better and last
longer in service than
petroleum oils, especially
during hot operating
conditions.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL PC Series Oil is an
ashless, high-flash-point
formulation with very low
carbon-forming tendencies
that minimizes the incidence
of ignition-promoting hot
spots. While PC Series Oil
can provide improved fire
safety, it cannot be
considered non-flammable.
Application Recommendation
AMSOIL PC Series Oil in the
appropriate viscosity is
recommended for use in
single and multistage rotary
screw, vane, centrifugal and
reciprocating compressor
crankcases and cylinders,
vacuum pumps and other
applications such as gears,
bearings, blowers, pumps and
handheld pneumatic tools. In
compressor applications,
drain intervals of 8,000
hours or more can be
expected under normal
operation. Drain intervals
are subject to operating
conditions and maintenance
practices. Monitoring by oil
analysis is recommended. For
best performance when
converting to AMSOIL PC
Series Oil, it is
recommended the compressor
be drained of the old fluid
prior to the installation of
PC Series Oil. If carbon
deposits are present on the
internal components, it is
recommended they be removed
following the compressor
manufacturer
recommendations.
