More on Compressor Oil
Fortunately, air compressor oil technologies have evolved and users today have much more advanced, extended-life “performance” oils to choose from. Unlike the standard OEM fluids, today’s performance oils are formulated for the user with no performance limitations. They utilize a more robust additive system designed to deliver maximum protection and service life. Air compressor performance oils are optimized for the users’ benefit in mind. When combined with “predictive” condition-based compressor oil changes, they minimize oil consumption, eliminate routine oil changes, reduce maintenance costs and minimize environmental impact.
At Fluid Metrics, we give compressor users the choice between yesterday’s standard and today’s performance fluids, and we help guide them towards the best possible solution given their compressors’ unique operating conditions and environment. For smaller compressor users, where OEM-grade compressor fluids and regular time-based oil changes may make sense, we offer our DuroLube series of standard compressor fluids. For larger compressor users, where extended-life performance oils and condition-based oil changes are the best practice, we offer our PuroLube series of performance fluids. Either way, compressor users can be confident they have considered all their options and received the best possible advice before making the right choice.
