MSOIL SYNTHETIC DC-SERIES diester-based compressor
oils are long-life, extended-drain premium compressor lubricants, based
on novel, proprietary technology. DC Series Oils significantly improve
operational temperatures, hydrolytic stability, oxidative resistance,
oil service life, demulsibility and wear protection.
AMSOIL DC Series Compressor Oils incorporate
the highest quality shear-stable, synthetic diester fluids and are
fortified with a premium non-detergent/ashless additive system for
maximum protection and superior lubrication at high temperatures and
pressures, where petroleum lubricants typically break down.
AMSOIL DC Series Oils are designed to eliminate
deficiencies common to petroleum compressor oils -- specifically,
thermal and oxidative degradation (which causes carbon varnish and
sludge formation), oil and water emulsions (which can lead to rust and
excessive wear), lubricant degradation and weight loss (due to
hydrolytic instability or high-temperature vaporization).
The performance of synthetic base fluids
ensures problem-free operation with service intervals up to 10 times
longer than possible with mineral oil-based lubricants, producing a
tremendous cost advantage. Studies indicate that synthetic lubricants
can reduce energy consumption by as much as 10 percent, while providing
clean operations, extended oil drain intervals and increased uptime.
This performance increases efficiency and savings on energy, repair and
maintenance costs.

Application Recommendation
AMSOIL DC Series Oils are recommended for use
in rotary screw, vane and reciprocating compressors. Consult the
manufacturer for proper viscosity recommendations.
DC Series Oils can be used in a wide range of
applications, including splash lubrication, cylinder/frame lubrication,
and oil-flooded, drip-feed, force-feed and large-cylinder-bore (18 in.
diameter) compressors. DC Series Oils typically have an 8,000+ hour
drain interval. However, this is subject to operating environment and
maintenance practices, and should be monitored by oil analysis.
AMSOIL DC Compressor Oils are compatible with
petroleum-based lubricants. It is suggested that the compressor be
thoroughly drained and cleaned, if warranted, of the old oil and the filter
be changed prior to filling with the DC Series Lubricant. If an appreciable
amount of carbon deposit or residue is found on the internal compressor
parts, it is suggested that the residue be removed, following manufacturers
recommendations, prior to installing the new oil. For the first 100
hours of operation, check the filters regularly and clean or replace as
necessary.
NOTE: AMSOIL DC Series compressor oils
are not recommended for "breathing air" or
refrigeration compressors.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL DC Series Compressor Oils have a dramatically higher flash
point and are usually deposit-free compared to petroleum oils. This
contributes to an increase in the fire safety of the product. AMSOIL DC
Series Oils increase fire safety; however, they cannot be considered
non-flammable.
