6.6 Lubricant
Your compressor has been filled and tested with a high quality synthetic compressor
lubricant. It has the advantage of extended service life, high temperature operation, easy
start-up when cold, reduced sludge and lacquer buildup, and is completely compatible with
all seals, gaskets, and other compressor materials.
When operating in severe conditions it will be necessary to change the lubricant more
frequently. Temperature of operation has the most significant effect on the life of the
lubricant. The following chart shows the decrease in interval based on temperature.

To eliminate confusion concerning what type of lubricant to use, always use Curtis RS8000
Lubricants. If other lubricants are used, failures due to lubrication are not warrantable.
CAUTIO
Plugged filters, coolers, and orifices can result from mixing different lubricants and
conditioners. This will also void the warranty.
Be sure to use only Curtis Lubricants in refilling your compressor.
