- Ingersoll Rand T-30 Select Compressor Oil - 1 Liter Bottle

- Ingersoll Rand T-30 Select Compressor Oil - 1 Liter Bottle
  • For Type-30 compressors
  • 1 liter bottle use of Ingersoll Rand All Season Select Lubricant extends the life of your compressor pump warranty by 1 year

This stuff isn't real easy to find. My Northern Tool store that sells Ingersol Rand compressors doesn't have it. It is critical to good life of an air compressor to do 2 things, keep fresh, specified synthetic oil in the crankcase and keep the air filters functional.

I have a new I-R floor model small compressor I bought this summer, a twin cylinder model. I want to be sure and run the recommended oil in it. These compressors aren't cheap, and running good oil only seems to make sense. My oldest boy has a smaller I-R at his house that is ready for oil, so one of these bottles is for him.

Both of the I-R compressors are very nice, and I expect to keep them going for many years. I also have a smaller size portable Costco special that is several years old and used fairly regularly and hard. I have used Mobil 1 in it in the past, but while the synthetic base stock provides excellent lubrication, the additives in gasoline engine oils are not useful in compressors and in fact can cause problems with reed valve function and piston ring sticking because the additives "coke up" into carbon deposits. So, this time around, I changed out the oil in that one for this All Season Select.

Every Ingersol-Rand compressor or air tool I have ever bought has been the very highest quality and durability, from small air grinders up to 25hp screw compressors. In every case, it pays to use the absolute best components and supplies in these machines. I believe this will significantly extend the usable life of the compressor.

In fact, I'd recommend this oil for use in ANY small oil lubricated, reciprocating piston air compressor, not just I-R.

Highly Recommended
