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 synthetic oils fortified with premium non-detergent additives for maximum protection at high  temperatures. It lasts up to 8,000 hours, effectively reducing maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.

Formulated to Improve Efficiency

AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil has low-friction properties, resists viscosity increase from oxidation and helps improve operating efficiency.

Controls Foam and Reduces Wear

AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor 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 lower maintenance costs.

Resists Water Contamination

Water from condensation builds up in compressors and can cause unwanted oil/water emulsions that lead to rust and corrosion. AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil is hydrolytically stable. It resists acid formation, readily separates from water and is anti-rust fortified. Water can be easily drained for simplified disposal and increased oil life.

Resists Heat and Oxidation

AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor 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 Synthetic Compressor 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 Synthetic Compressor Oil can provide improved fire safety, it cannot be considered non-flammable.

APPLICATIONS

Use the appropriate viscosity of AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil in single and multistage rotary screw, vane, centrifugal and reciprocating compressor crankcases and cylinders, vacuum pumps, pressure washer pumps and other applications such as gears, bearings, blowers and pumps.

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. Consult the equipment manufacturer or AMSOIL Technical Services for use in specific applications.

COMPATIBILITY

AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil is compatible with petroleum oils and most synthetic oils, seals, paints and materials. For best performance, it is recommended the
compressor be flushed of the old oil and all filters changed prior to the installation of PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil. If carbon deposits are present on the internal components, it is recommended they be removed following the compressor manufacturer recommendations.

Not recommended for “breathing air” or refrigeration compressors or for use with polycarbonate or PVC plastics and butyl, ethylene-propylene or SBR rubber.

Not compatible with polyalkylene glycol or silicone oils.
