Mannol Compressor Oil ISO 46 is a premium mineral-based lubricant specifically engineered to meet the demanding requirements of reciprocating and rotary air compressors. This 1-liter formulation provides reliable lubrication, effectively reducing friction and wear on critical internal components to maintain optimal performance under varying operating conditions. Its advanced chemical composition ensures high thermal stability and resistance to oxidation, which helps prevent the formation of deposits and sludge within the compressor system.
Advantages
The primary benefit of using Mannol Compressor Oil ISO 46 is its ability to extend the service life of pneumatic equipment by providing a robust protective film that minimizes metal-to-metal contact. The oil maintains consistent viscosity across a wide temperature range, ensuring smooth startup and continuous operation. Furthermore, its excellent anti-corrosion and anti-foaming properties contribute to a cleaner internal environment, reducing maintenance frequency and enhancing the overall reliability of the compressor unit.
Suitable for
- Reciprocating air compressors
- Rotary screw and vane air compressors
- Industrial pneumatic systems
- Professional workshop air tools
When it may not be suitable
This product is not intended for use in breathing air compressors or medical-grade oxygen systems. It is also not compatible with systems requiring synthetic-based lubricants or those specifying a different viscosity grade, such as ISO 68 or ISO 100.
Key specifications
- Viscosity grade: ISO VG 46
- Base oil: Mineral
- Volume: 1 Liter
- Application: Air compressors
- Properties: High thermal stability, oxidation resistance, anti-wear
How to use
Before adding the oil, ensure the compressor is turned off, disconnected from the power source, and allowed to cool down. Drain the old oil completely from the reservoir according to the manufacturer's service manual. Clean the drain plug and refill the system with Mannol Compressor Oil ISO 46 until the oil level reaches the recommended mark on the sight glass or dipstick. Do not overfill, as this can lead to excessive pressure and oil carry-over.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the viscosity requirements in your compressor's user manual
- Check the compatibility of mineral oils with your existing system seals
- Ensure the volume is sufficient for your specific oil change interval
Usage recommendations
Regularly monitor the oil level and color to determine the appropriate change interval based on your specific operating environment and equipment load.
