Changing the Compressor Oil

Read the
“Maintenance and Repair” safety section before
working on the system.

Do not attempt to change the oil until the oil has cooled.
Hot oil can cause severe burns.

VMAC certified and approved compressor oil must be
used. Failure to use this oil may result in damage to the
compressor and will void the warranty.

Overfilling the compressor oil may cause oil to come out
of the blow-down muffler or into the discharge air stream.
1) Clean the area around the tank and filter to prevent contamination.
2) Remove the drain plug by turning it counter-clockwise and drain the
oil into a container large enough to hold at least 4 liters (1 U.S. gal.)
3) Inspect the oil plug Viton O-ring for damage, hardness or defects.
4) Install and tighten the plug.
5) If replacing the oil filter, follow filter replacement procedures.
