Specifications PAROIL
PAROIL from Atlas Copco is the ONLY oil tested
and approved for use in all engines built into Atlas
Copco compressors and generators.
Extensive laboratory and field endurance tests on
Atlas Copco equipment have proven PAROIL to
match all lubrication demands in varied conditions. It
meets stringent quality control specifications to
ensure your equipment will run smoothly and
reliably.
The quality lubricant additives in PAROIL allow for
extended oil change intervals without any loss in
performance or longevity.
Observe all relevant environmental
and safety precautions.
Never mix synthetic with mineral
oil.
When changing from mineral to
synthetic oil (or the other way
around), you will need to do an
extra rinse.
After doing the complete change
procedure to synthetic oil, run the
unit for a few minutes to allow good
and complete circulation of the
synthetic oil. Then drain the
synthetic oil again and fill again
with new synthetic oil. To set correct
oil levels, proceed as in normal
instruction.
