INCREASES EFFICIENCY AND REDUCES HEAT
- Reduces friction more effectively than conventional oils.
- Helps compressors run cooler and consume less energy, reducing operating costs.
- Transfers heat away from critical components, extending equipment and fluid life.
CONTROLS FOAM AND SEPARATES FROM WATER
- Resists foaming to ensure consistent lubrication and pressure.
- Readily separates from water, preventing damaging emulsions that can lead to rust and decreased lubricant performance.
- Promotes longer oil and equipment life.
FIGHTS WEAR
- Provides a durable lubricating film, protecting pumps, bearings and other critical components from wear.
- Reduces breakdowns and maintenance, saving money on parts and labor.
- Resists thermal and oxidative breakdown, lasting up to 8,000+ hours in most compressor applications.
Applications
Use AMSOIL SIROCCO in single- and multi-stage rotary screw compressors and single-stage vacuum pumps that specify either an ISO 32 or ISO 46 compressor oil. It is recommended as a replacement for other polyalkylene glycol (PAG) compressor oils or coolants, including Sullair Sullube.*
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic Compressor Oil is a premium ester-based lubricant engineered to protect rotary screw compressors and vacuum pumps against corrosion and wear in a wide range of operating conditions. It inhibits oxidation, foam and corrosion for increased compressor performance, extended oil and equipment life and reduced energy consumption and maintenance costs.
- Protects against corrosion and wear to help extend equipment life.
- Excellent demulsibility, eliminating oil/water emulsions.
- Resists foam, heat and oxidation for extended oil life.
- Superior resistance to sludge, carbon and varnish deposits.
- Compatible with mineral oils and most synthetic oils, seals, paints and materials.
Improves Efficiency
Formulated with premium synthetic esters and non-detergent additives, AMSOIL SIROCCO provides superior lubricity and excellent thermal conductivity that helps increase equipment efficiency by reducing operating temperatures and energy consumption.
Extended Service Life
Cleaner system components help extend oil drain intervals and equipment service life, resulting in reduced downtime and maintenance costs. AMSOIL SIROCCO naturally resists oxidation to inhibit sludge, carbon and varnish deposits and keep components clean.
High-Temperature Protection
The high viscosity index and flash, fire and auto-ignition points of AMSOIL SIROCCO provide superior protection in high-temperature environments compared with typical petroleum-based compressor oils. Although AMSOIL SIROCCO helps improve fire safety, it cannot be considered non-flammable.
Cold-Temperature Performance
A low pour point and lack of paraffins (wax) make AMSOIL SIROCCO an excellent all-season lubricant. It maintains exceptional cold-flow performance in subzero temperatures for easier cold starts and fast startup protection that helps prevent premature wear of critical components.
Resists Water Emulsion
Many compressor oils absorb water, significantly shortening oil life, plugging filters and causing equipment rust and corrosion. AMSOIL SIROCCO readily separates from water so it can be drained from the system for extended oil and equipment life.
After installation, shut the compressor down for 15 minutes every 24 hours to allow water to settle in the drainage reservoir. Extend drainage intervals based on amount of water removed and your specific environmental conditions. Contact AMSOIL Technical Services at 715-399-TECH for additional assistance.

Service Recommendations
AMSOIL SIROCCO has a high level of solvency and may release deposits left in the system. Thoroughly drain the old oil, change the filters and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to remove any residue before installing. Regularly check filters and oil/air separators for the first 500 hours of operation and replace as necessary.
Service life of up to 8,000 hours is possible, subject to operating conditions, maintenance practices and monitoring with routine oil analysis every 1,000 hours.
Availability
AMSOIL SIROCCO is available in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes and bulk quantities. Please allow two to four weeks for tote delivery.

Simply the Best
I’ve been using Amsoil on all my vehicles and equipment and been very happy with its performance…!!!
Simply the best
I use this on my Ingersoll-Rand Screw Compressor and only change oil once a year
