OIL SPECIFICATIONS
High-quality, mineral, hydraulic or synthesized
hydrocarbon oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors and
anti-foam and anti-wear properties is recommended.
The viscosity grade should correspond to the ambient
temperature and ISO 3448, as follows:
PAROIL from Atlas Copco is the ONLY oil tested
and approved for use in all engines built into Atlas
Copco compressors and generators.
Extensive laboratory and field endurance tests on
Atlas Copco equipment have proven PAROIL to
match all lubrication demands in varied conditions. It
meets stringent quality control specifications to
ensure your equipment will run smoothly and
reliably.
The quality lubricant additives in PAROIL allow for
extended oil change intervals without any loss in
performance or longevity.
PAROIL provides wear protection under extreme
conditions. Powerful oxidation resistance, high
chemical stability and rust- inhibiting additives help
reduce corrosion, even within engines left idle for
extended periods.
PAROIL contains high quality anti-oxidants to
control deposits, sludge and contaminants that tend to
build up under very high temperatures.
PAROIL’s detergent additives keep sludge forming
particles in a fine suspension, instead of allowing
them to clog your filter and accumulate in the valve/
rocker cover area.
PAROIL releases excess heat efficiently, whilst
maintaining excellent bore-polish protection to limit
oil consumption.
PAROIL has an excellent Total Base Number (TBN)
retention and more alkalinity to control acid
formation.
PAROIL prevents Soot build-up.
PAROIL is optimized for the latest low emission
EURO -3 & -2, EPA TIER II & III engines running on
low sulphur diesel for lower oil and fuel consumption.
PAROIL E is a mineral based high performance
diesel engine oil with a high viscosity- index. Atlas
Copco PAROIL E is designed to provide a high level
of performance and protection under ‘standard’
ambient conditions from -10°C (14°F) onward.
PAROIL E xtra is a Synthetic ultra high performance
diesel engine oil with a high viscosity- index. Atlas
Copco PAROIL E xtra is designed to provide
excellent lubrication from start-up at temperatures as
low as -25°C (-13°F).
It is strongly recommended to use Atlas
Copco branded lubrication oils for both
compressor and engine. If you want to
use another brand of oil, consult Atlas
Copco.
Never mix synthetic with mineral oil.
Remark:
When changing from mineral to
synthetic oil (or the other way around),
you will need to do an extra rinse:
After a complete change over to
synthetic oil, run the unit for a few
minutes to allow proper and complete
circulation of the synthetic oil.
Then drain the synthetic oil again and
fill again with new synthetic oil. To set
correct oil levels, follow the normal
instructions.
