What is compressor fluid?

Compressor fluid, oil or synthetic lubricant, keeps the numerous internal parts of your compressor system safely operating at high speeds and under extreme pressure. When your compressor is properly lubricated it helps the machine run more efficiently, keeps temperatures under control, and reduces wear and tear.

How do you change the oil in an industrial air compressor?

CHANGING OIL

1. Remove the oil fill plug (E).
2. Remove the oil drain plug (C) and drain oil into a suitable container.
3. Replace the oil drain plug (C) and tighten securely.
