What oil goes in a piston compressor?

The Clear Choice for Lubricated Compressors In general, manufacturers today recommend using either a 20 or 30 weight synthetic lubricant — rather than a mineral oil — to get the best results out of your industrial compressed air system.

How does a compressor oil work?

In a lubricated screw compressor, the lubricant comes in direct in contact with the compressor inlet air and compressed air. When air is compressed the contained water vapor is squeezed out of the air, forming free water, which is picked up by the oil.

Is compressor oil petroleum based?

There are three basic types of air compressor oil: petroleum-based (mineral), synthetic, and food-grade. Many air compressors use a mineral blend or synthetic oil, such as synthetic hydrocarbon, polyol ester, or polyglycol. Before selecting a lubricant for your industrial air compressor, check your manual and warranty.

Why does a compressor need oil?

Share via. Air compressors require constant oil lubrication to prevent friction on the pistons or screws and other moving parts. To make sure your air compressor is running efficiently, it is important to check your oil level regularly and to know how much oil your compressor needs.
