When Should You Replace Your Lubrication Oil?

Keeping your piston air compressor in top condition starts with the right care—and that includes knowing when to replace the lubrication oil. Here are a few helpful tips to guide you:

• Environmental Conditions

  • Increase the replacement frequency if the compressor operates in dusty, high-humidity, or high-temperature environments.

• Oil Deterioration

  • Replace the oil if its color changes from clear or light to dark or cloudy, or if sediment is observed, as this indicates oxidation.

• Scheduled Maintenance

  • Consider replacing the lubrication oil during regular maintenance alongside other components like air filters and oil filters.
