Synthetic PC Series Compressor Oil (ISO
46, SAE 20)
 The
correct manufacturer-recommended viscosity grade of AMSOIL
PC Series compressor oil is recommended for use in rotary
screw, rotary vane, reciprocating and other compressor
applications. Compatible with PAO-, ester- and
petroleum-based compressor oils. They are not compatible
with glycol- or silicone-based compressor oils. Consult

PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oils are long-life,
premium compressor lubricants based on novel, proprietary
technology. They incorporate the highest quality,
thermally-stable PAO synthetics fortified with premium
non-detergent, ashless additives for maximum protection at high
temperatures and pressures. They last up to eight times longer
than petroleum oils, effectively reducing maintenance and waste
oil disposal costs.
Improves Compressor
Efficiency
AMSOIL PC Synthetic Compressor Oils have low friction
properties and they resist viscosity increase from oxidation.
They help improve operating efficiency and save money on
electrical energy consumption.
Controls Foam and Reduces
Wear
AMSOIL PC Compressor Oils contain anti-foam additives and,
unlike other compressor oils, they are anti-wear fortified.
Good foam control reduces heat, oxidation and wear. High
contact regions are protected against wear for increased
compressor life and efficiency.
Resists Water
Contamination
Water from condensation builds up in compressors that can cause
unwanted oil/water emulsions, environmental discharge hazards
and rust. AMSOIL PC Synthetic Compressor Oils are
hydrolytically stable. They resist acid formation, readily
separate from water and are anti-rust fortified. Water can be
easily drained off for simplified environmental discharge and
increased oil life.
Resists Heat and
Oxidation
AMSOIL PC Series Compressor Oils combine the inherent stability
of premium synthetic base oils with specialized anti-oxidant
additives to resist varnish, carbon and acid formation. They
protect compressors better and last longer in service than
petroleum oils, especially during hot operating conditions.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oils are ashless, high
flash point formulations with very low carbonforming tendencies
that minimize the incidence of ignition-promoting “hot spots.”
While PC Synthetic Compressor Oils can provide improved fire
safety, they cannot be considered non-flammable.
APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION
The appropriate viscosity of AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic
Compressor Oil is recommended for use in single and multistage
rotary screw, vane, centrifugal and reciprocating compressor
crankcase and cylinders, vacuum pumps and other applications
such as gears, bearings, blowers, pumps and handheld pneumatic
tools. In compressor applications, drain intervals of 8,000
hours or more can be expected under normal operation. Drain
intervals are subject to operating conditions and maintenance
practices. Monitoring by oil analysis is recommended. For best
performance, AMSOIL recommends the compressor be drained prior
to the installation of PC Synthetic Compressor Oil. If carbon
deposits are present on the internal components, it is
recommended they be removed following the compressor
manufacturer recommendations.
