Lubricant is essential to a compressor's strength and vitality. Champion lubricants are specially formulated to combat the harsh elements of compression while maximizing efficiency and equipment longevity. Are you experiencing any of the following?

  • Operating in extreme temperatures or severe air intake environments
  • Unusually high oil carry-over
  • High compressor maintenance/preventive maintenance costs
  • Degradation of air system seals/seal material


Some or all of these real-life situations can result in:

  • Breakdown of the lubricant and its ability to protect the compressor's critical components (i.e. bearings)
  • Oxidation/varnishing
  • Increased energy consumption
  • Compressor failure
  • Increased make-up, condensate, and used oil disposal and maintenance costs
  • Swelling or cracking of air system seals/seal material


To avoid these costly and potentially catastrophic situations, it is important to use the lubricant that meets your unique needs.
