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 field
experience and research in our labs. See section Preventive maintenance schedule for replacement intervals
and section Service Kits for part number information.
Roto-Inject Fluid
Atlas Copco's Roto-Inject Fluid is a specially developed lubricant for use in single stage oil-injected screw
compressors. Its specific composition keeps the compressor in excellent condition. Roto-Inject Fluid can be
used for compressors operating at ambient temperatures between 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) and 40 ˚C (104 ˚F). If the
compressor is regularly operating in ambient temperatures between 40 °C and 46 °C (115 °F), oil lifetime is
reduced significantly. In such case it is recommended to use Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid.
Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid
Atlas Copco's Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid is a high-quality synthetic lubricant for oil-injected screw compressors
which keeps the compressor in excellent condition. Because of its excellent oxidation stability, Roto-Xtend
Duty Fluid can be used for compressors operating at ambient temperatures between 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) and 46 ˚C
(115 ˚F).
Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid is the standard oil for compressors equipped with freeze protection.
Roto-Foodgrade Fluid
Special oil, delivered as an option.
Atlas Copco's Roto-Foodgrade fluid is a unique high-quality synthetic lubricant, specially created for oil-
injected screw compressors that provide air for the food industry. This lubricant keeps the compressor in
excellent condition. Roto-Foodgrade Fluid can be used for compressors operating at ambient temperatures
between 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) and 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).

Storage after installation
Procedure
Run the compressor, e.g. twice a week, until warm. Load and unload the compressor a few times.
If the compressor is going to be stored without running from time to time, protective
measures must be taken. Consult Atlas Copco.
