Praises AMSOIL!
LNG
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.

Replaces Much Higher Priced
PAG Compressor Oils/Coolants Such as
Sullube 32®
and Ingersoll Rand SSR Ultra Coolant®
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ SE Series
Synthetic Ester Compressor Oil/Coolant is formulated with
premium synthetic ester technology. This high-quality, long-life
fluid last several times longer in use than mineral-based oils.
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ is fully formulated with non-detergent additives
and is designed for use in rotary screw, vane and reciprocating
compressors. AMSOIL SIROCCO™
increases operating efficiency, reducing money spent on energy,
repair and maintenance costs.

and Ingersoll-Rand SSR Ultra-coolant®
- Biodegradable under the CEC-L33-A94 standard
Eliminates Seasonal Fluid Changes
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ SE
Series Compressor Oil/Coolant maintains
performance across a wide operating temperature
range. Its low pour point, high viscosity index
and lack of paraffins (wax) make it an excellent
all-season lubricant. At high temperatures, AMSOIL
SIROCCO™
forms virtually no carbon, allowing for clean
operation. At cold temperatures, equipment starts
easier and the lubricant is quickly pumped to
critical components, preventing lubricant
starvation and excessive wear.
Resists Water Contamination
Water from condensation
builds up in compressors and can cause unwanted
oil/water emulsions, environmental discharge hazards and rust.
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ SE Series Compressor Oil/Coolant resists 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 SIROCCO™ SE Series Compressor
Oil/Coolant is
anti-rust fortified.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ SE Series Compressor Oil/Coolant has a higher flash, fire and auto ignition point
than competitive petroleum oils. Its resistance
to carbon formation and the ashless additive
system minimizes the incidence of deposits acting
as ignition-promoting hot spots. (While AMSOIL SIROCCO™ SE
Series Compressor Oil/Coolant can provide improved fire safety,
it cannot be considered non-flammable.)
8,000-Hour Life Expectancy
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ SE Series Compressor Oil/Coolant
reduces maintenance costs by extending drain intervals and
lowering labor and used-product disposal requirements. AMSOIL
SIROCCO™ 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 AMSOIL SIROCCO™, 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. AMSOIL SIROCCO™ has 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.
Product Compatibility
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ SE Series Compressor
Oil/Coolant is
compatible with and recommended as a replacement
for much higher priced polyalkylene glycol (PAG)
compressor oils or coolants such as Sullube 32®
and Ingersoll Rand SSR Ultra Coolant®.
No flushing is necessary when changing over from
glycol coolants to AMSOIL SIROCCO™, but draining the
system and changing the filters is
recommended.
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ is compatible with petroleum oils, most
synthetic oils*, and many seals, paints and
materials commonly used in compressors.

use with AMSOIL SIROCCO™ are listed below.

Viscosity Grades/Applications
AMSOIL SIROCCO™ SE Series Compressor
Oil/Coolant is a
multi-viscosity oil meeting the requirements of
5W-20. It may be used in applications calling for
either an ISO-32 or ISO-46 compressor oil or
coolant. It is recommended for use in single and
multi-stage rotary screw compressors and vacuum
pumps that call for this viscosity.
