How Often Should Air Compressor Oil Be Changed?
1 Answers
There are three scenarios for the replacement cycle of air compressor oil: 1. Mineral oil should be changed every 3 to 4 months; 2. Semi-synthetic oil should be changed every 6 to 8 months; 3. Full synthetic oil should be changed every 10 to 11 months. The oil should be changed in advance if the air compressor exhibits the following conditions: 1. The air in the location where the air compressor is placed contains many impurities; 2. The air contains corrosive substances; 3. The ambient temperature of the compressor room is high; 4. The air contains a large amount of dust. Oil is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers.
