4.5 Engine oil specifications
High-quality, mineral, hydraulic or synthesized hydrocarbon oil with
rust and oxidation inhibitors, anti-foam and anti-wear properties is
recommended.
The viscosity grade should correspond to the ambient temperature and
ISO 3448, as follows:
4.5.1 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.
PAROIL provides wear protection under extreme conditions. Powerful
oxidation resistance, high chemical stability and rust- inhibiting
additives help reduce corrosion, even within engines left idle for
extended periods.
PAROIL contains high quality anti-oxidants to control deposits, sludge
and contaminants that tend to build up under very high temperatures.
PAROIL's detergent additives keep sludge forming particles in a fine
suspension instead of allowing them to clog your filter and accumulate
in the valve/rocker cover area.
PAROIL releases excess heat efficiently, whilst maintaining excellent
bore-polish protection to limit oil consumption.
PAROIL has an excellent Total Base Number (TBN) retention and
more alkalinity to control acid formation.
PAROIL prevents Soot build-up.
PAROIL is optimized for the latest low emission EURO -3 & -2, EPA
TIER II & III engines running on low sulphur diesel for lower oil and
fuel consumption.
4.5.2 PAROIL 5W30 and PAROIL 15W40
Synthetic engine oil PAROIL 5W30
PAROIL 5W30 is a Synthetic ultra high performance diesel engine oil
with a high viscosity- index. Atlas Copco PAROIL 5W30 is designed
to provide excellent lubrication from start-up in temperatures as low as
-25°C.
Mineral engine oil PAROIL 15W40
PAROIL 15W40 is a mineral based high performance diesel engine oil
with a high viscosity- index. Atlas Copco PAROIL 15W40 is designed
to provide a high level of performance and protection in 'standard'
ambient conditions as from -15°C.
4.6 Engine oil level check
Consult the Engine Operation Manual for the oil specifications,
viscosity recommendations and oil change intervals.
For intervals, see “Maintenance schedule”.
Check engine oil level according to the instructions in the Engine
Operation Manual and if necessary top up with oil.
4.7 Engine oil and oil filter change
See section “Maintenance schedule”.
It is strongly recommended to use Atlas Copco
branded lubrication oils.
Engine Type of lubricant
between -15°C and 40°C PAROIL 15W40
between -25°C and 30°C PAROIL 5W30
Never mix synthetic with mineral oil.
Remark:
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.
