Why is the oil consumption too high in my DV Systems G30?
- DDr. Alicia ValentineSep 10, 2025
High oil consumption in your DV Systems Air Compressor can be attributed to several factors. These include an oil level that is too high, a blocked Oil Return Line (Scavenge Line), an Oil Separator saturated with oil, or using the wrong type of oil. Additionally, the unit operating at too high a temperature, an oil leak, or light unit load or excessive load/idle cycles can contribute to this issue. To address this, reduce the oil level to the proper level, clean and/or replace the Scavenge In-Line Filter, replace the Oil Separator, change to factory recommended oil, repair any oil leaks, and ensure the unit is set to operate at correct pressures with a minimum of 10 psi differential. Also consider if the unit is oversized for the tank capacity.
