Frequently Asked Questions
What is Paroil M used for?
Paroil M is a mineral-based compressor oil designed for use in Atlas Copco’s single-stage, low-pressure compressors operating in standard ambient conditions (between -10°C and +30°C / 14°F to 86°F). It ensures reliable lubrication, cooling, and protection of internal components. For the right compressor oil, please consult the instruction book of your machine.
Can I use Paroil M in any compressor?
Not exactly. While Paroil M is formulated for Atlas Copco single-stage, low-pressure compressors, its suitability depends on your specific compressor model and operating conditions. To ensure compatibility and optimal performance, always refer to the lubrication specifications provided in your machine’s instruction book.
When in doubt, don’t hesitate to reach out to your Atlas Copco representative —we’re happy to help you choose the right oil for your equipment and application.
How often should I change Paroil M?
Oil change intervals depend on your compressor model and operating conditions. Always refer to your equipment’s maintenance manual for exact recommendations.
Can I mix Paroil M with another compressor oil?
Mixing Paroil M with other oils is not allowed. Even if the other oil appears similar, differences in formulation can reduce performance and severely harm your compressor.
I found a cheaper alternative. Why should I choose Paroil M?
While lower-cost oils may seem appealing, they often lack the formulation precision, quality control, and compatibility testing that genuine Atlas Copco lubricants like Paroil M undergo. Using non-genuine oils can lead to:
Increased wear and tear on internal components
Reduced compressor efficiency and lifespan
Higher maintenance costs over time
Potential warranty issues if damage occurs due to incompatible fluids
Paroil M is specifically engineered to meet the performance and protection standards of Atlas Copco compressors. It ensures optimal operation, especially under standard-duty conditions in moderate climates.
Investing in genuine oil protects your equipment, your uptime, and your peace of mind.
Where can I buy Paroil M?
You can purchase Paroil M through authorized Atlas Copco distributors or directly via the Atlas Copco Webshop.
