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 additives for maximum protection at high temperatures. It lasts up to 8,000 hours, effectively reducing maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Improves Compressor Efficiency
AMSOIL
PC Series Oil has low friction properties, resists viscosity increase
from oxidation and helps improve operating efficiency.
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 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
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 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 Recommendations*
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,
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. For best performance when
converting to AMSOIL PC Series Oil, it is recommended the compressor be
flushed of the old oil and all filters changed 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.
* Consult the equipment manufacturer or AMSOIL Technical Services for use in specific applications.
