3.4 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. The fluids in
Lubrication Guidelines Table 3-2 on page 43 can be
used. Any of these oils are suitable under conditions
where severe oil oxidations can occur.
Water must be drained from the receiver tank
periodically. In high ambient temperature and high
humidity conditions, condensed moisture may
emulsify with the oil forming a “milky” color. ATF or
SAE 10W is especially prone to this condition. The
fluid should be changed if this condition develops.
When ambient conditions exceed those noted or if
conditions warrant use of other extended life
lubricants, 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 representative
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
® representative for
details.
3.5 ENGINE LUBRICATION
GUIDE
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for oil

CAUTION
DO NOT mix types of fluids. Combinations
of different fluids may lead to operational
problems such as foaming, filter plugging,
orifice or line plugging.
