Publishing Company, Inc.
In the March 2003 issue of
Lubes 'n' Greases,
Automotive Editor David McFall wrote an
in-depth article on the subject of extended oil drain intervals and
touted AMSOIL as a safe, cost-effective and environmentally preferred
choice. He praised AMSOIL for their commitment to excellence and labeled
AMSOIL "unshackled"
for never conforming to industry norms and standards.

For Maximum Long-Life Protection
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils are long-life, premium compressor
lubricants based on novel, proprietary technology. They improve compressor
efficiency and extend drain intervals in reciprocating (piston) compressors and
vacuum pumps where high discharge temperatures or carbon build-up are a concern.
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils incorporate the
highest quality, thermally-stable synthetic esters fortified
with premium non-detergent, ashless additives for maximum
protection at high temperatures and pressures where petroleum
lubricants typically break down.

- Increases operational efficiency
- Reduces energy consumption
- Prevents unwanted oil/water emulsions
- Anti-wear protection
- Protects against rust and corrosion
- Provides long compressor life
- Reduces maintenance costs
- Suitable for use in rotary vane and reciprocating compressors and vacuum
pumps.
Improves Compressor Efficiency
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils are designed to prevent
hard carbon deposits on valves for greatly improved compressor
efficiency. Valve maintenance is extended and recompression is
virtually eliminated. Compressor efficiency is improved, heat is
reduced and money is saved through lower electrical energy
consumption.
Reduces Wear
Unlike other compressor oils, AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor
Oils are anti-wear fortified. They help reduce wear in high
contact regions for increased compressor life and efficiency.
Extends Oil Life
AMSOIL DC Series Compressor Oils combine the inherent
oxidation resistance of synthetic esters with highly potent
oxidation inhibitors. They last several times longer than
petroleum oils, effectively reducing maintenance and waste oil
disposal costs.
Reduced Oil Consumption
The low volatility, highly polar nature of AMSOIL DC
Synthetic Compressor Oils reduces the amount of oil needed for
cylinder lubrication compared to petroleum oils. Drip feed rates
can be lowered, downstream oil is minimized and money is saved
on make-up oil.
Resists Water Contamination
Water from condensation
builds up in compressors and can cause unwanted
oil/water emulsions, environmental discharge hazards and rust.
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils resist water to prevent damaging oil/water
emulsions, allowing for better lubrication, longer lubricant
life and ease of water removal from the sump -- water can be
easily drained off for simplified environmental discharge and
increased oil life. AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils are
anti-rust fortified.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils have higher flash, fire
and auto-ignition points than competitive petroleum oils. Their resistance to carbon formation and the ashless additive
system minimizes the incidence of deposits acting as
ignition-promoting hot spots. (Note: While AMSOIL DC Synthetic
Compressor Oils can provide improved fire safety, they cannot be
considered non-flammable.)
8,000-Hour Life Expectancy
AMSOIL DC Synthetic Compressor Oils
reduce maintenance costs by extending drain intervals and
lowering labor and used-product disposal requirements. AMSOIL DC
Synthetic Compressor Oils may be used up to 8,000+ hours for most compressor
applications, subject to operating conditions and maintenance
practices. Monitoring by oil analysis at 1,000-hour intervals is
recommended. As discharge temperatures become elevated (above
205° F), however, lubricant life expectancy is reduced; monitor
with oil analysis.
Note: When installing DC Synthetic Compressor Oils, it is
recommended that the old oil be thoroughly drained and, if
warranted, the system cleaned. If a lot of carbon or residue is
found on the internal compressor parts, follow the
manufacturer's recommendations for removal prior to installing
the new oil. DC Synthetic Compressor Oils have a high level of
solvency and may remove deposits left in the system. Check the
filters and oil/air separators regularly for the first 500 hours
of operation and replace as necessary.
