Oil keeps a rotary screw compressor cool, sealed and lubricated. Neglecting oil changes is the fastest way to shorten an airend’s life.
Recommended Intervals
Follow the manufacturer’s schedule, typically based on running hours. Severe dust, heat or humidity shortens the interval.
Choosing the Right Grade
Use the viscosity and performance grade specified for your model. Mixing unknown oils can cause foaming and poor lubrication.
Warning Signs
Dark, burnt-smelling or milky oil indicates overheating, oxidation or water ingress. Address the root cause, not just the oil.
