Genuine Atlas Copco oils are engineered in-house for maximum uptime, top fuel efficiency, peak performance, and an extended lifetime. These high-quality oils are not only crucial to maintain your warranty but essential to keep the air quality of your portable compressor superior.
The quality of your compressed air can be affected by your working environment and the machine’s maintenance. While we can’t control the environment, we can preventively service the machine. Over time, oil carryover could compromise the performance and lifecycle of your air compressor. That’s why we recommend taking a proactive stance: conduct an oil sampling test either 500 hours or 6 months after each oil change – whichever comes first. Send over your sample to receive a report. Additionally, you can request tailor-made recommendations based on your specific report.
