3.3 APPLICATION GUIDE
Refer to Figure 3-1. Sullair Air Compressors are
supplied with Sullair AWF which is heavy duty multi-
viscosity, all-weather fluid. Sullair AWF also allows
an extended change interval. Detergent motor oils
(SAE 10W Class SE,SF, SG or CD) can also be
used. Any of these oils are suitable under condi-
tions where severe oil oxidations can occur.
Water must be drained from the receiver periodical-
ly. In high ambient temperature and high humidity
conditions, condensed moisture may emulsify with
the oil forming a “milky” color. SAE 10W is espe-
cially prone to this condition. The fluid should be
changed if this condition develops.
DO NOT mix types of fluids. Combinations of differ-
ent fluids may lead to operational problems such as
foaming, filter plugging, orifice or line plugging.
When ambient conditions exceed those noted or if
conditions warrant use of other extended life lubri-
cants, contact Sullair for recommendations.
Sullair encourages the user to participate in a fluid
analysis program. This could result in a fluid change
interval differing from that stated in the manual.
Sullair Corporation offers a fluid analysis program
for Sullair AWF. Contact your local Sullair represen-
tative for details.
D-A Lubricant® Company Inc. offers an analysis
program for users of D-A products and Sullair AWF.
Contact your D-A lubricant supplier or Sullair repre-
sentative for details.

change or topping off the
fill, the proper level should
be at half of the sight glass,
with the machine off.
