AMSOIL SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor
Oils/Coolants maintain performance across a wide operating temperature range.
The low pour points, high viscosity indices and lack of paraffins (wax) make
these excellent all season lubricants. At high temperatures, SE Series Synthetic
Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants form virtually no carbon, allowing for clean
operation. At cold temperatures, equipment starts easier and the lubricant is
quickly pumped to critical components, preventing lubricant starvation and
excessive wear. SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants also resist
water to prevent damaging oil/water emulsions, allowing for longer lubricant
life and ease of water removal from the sump.

SAFETY ADVANTAGE AMSOIL SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor Oils/Coolants have higher
flash, fire and auto ignition points than competitive petroleum oils. Their
resistance to carbon formation and the ashless additive system minimize the
incidence of deposits acting as ignition-promoting hot spots. Although AMSOIL SE
Series increase fire safety, they cannot be considered non-flammable.
APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION AMSOIL SEI is a
multi-viscosity oil meeting the requirements of 5W-20. It may be used in
applications calling for either an ISO-32 or ISO-46 compressor oil or coolant.
It is recommended for use in single and multi-stage rotary screw compressors and
vacuum pumps that call for this viscosity.
When installing AMSOIL SEI, it is
recommended that the old oil be thoroughly drained and if warranted, the system
cleaned. If a lot of carbon or residue is found on the internal compressor
parts, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for removal prior to installing
the new oil. AMSOIL SE Series Synthetic Ester Compressor
Oils/Coolants have a high level of solvency and may remove deposits left in the
system. Check the filters and oil/air separators regularly for the first 500
hours of operation and replace as necessary.
AMSOIL SEI is compatible with and recommended as a
replacement for much higher priced polyalkylene glycol (PAG) compressor oils or
coolants such as Sullube 32® and Ingersoll Rand SSR Ultra Coolant®. No flushing
is necessary when changing over from Glycol Coolants to AMSOIL SEI. However,
draining the system and changing the filters is recommended.
AMSOIL SEI is recommended for use up to 8,000+ hours
for most compressor applications. However, this is subject to operating
conditions and maintenance practices.* Monitoring by oil analysis every 1,000
hours is recommended.
* Where discharge temperature exceeds 205°F,
lubricant life expectancy is reduced. COMPATIBILITY AMSOIL SEI
is compatible with petroleum oils, most synthetic oils*, and many seals, paints
and materials commonly used in compressors. Materials recommended and not
recommended for use with SEI oils/coolants are listed below. For additional
information, see the AMSOIL Compatibility Guide (G-1274) or consult your AMSOIL
Dealer or AMSOIL INC.
*AMSOIL SE Series is NOT RECOMMENDED as a
replacement or for use with the silicone based compressor oil Sullube 24KT®.
AMSOIL SE Series is NOT RECOMMENDED for use in "Breathing Air or Refrigeration"
compressors.
