Maintenance
Compressor Oil
The following are general characteristics for a rotary
screw lubricant. Due to the impossibility of
establishing limits on all physical and chemical
properties of lubricants which can affect their
performance in the compressor over a broad range of
environmental influences, the responsibility for
recommending and consistently furnishing a suitable
heavy duty lubricant must rest with the individual
supplier if they choose not to use the recommended
Boss Industries, LLC ShieldWorks rotary screw
lubricant. The lubricant supplier’s recommendation
must, therefore, be based upon not only the following
general characteristics, but also upon his or her own
knowledge of the suitability of the recommended
lubricant in helical screw type air compressors
operating in the particular environment involved.
