Oil specifications
Never mix lubricants of different brands or types as they may not be compatible and the
oil mix will have inferior properties. A label, indicating the type of oil filled ex-factory, is
stuck on the air receiver/oil tank.
Always drain the compressor oil at all drain points. Used oil left in the compressor can
contaminate the oil system and can shorten the lifetime of the new oil.
It is strongly recommended to use genuine Atlas Copco Lubricants. They are the result of years of extensive
field experience and research in our labs. See section Preventive maintenance schedule for replacement
intervals and section Service Kits for part number information.
