Air compressors do heavy duty, often running many hours a day, every day.

Jerome Clampitt II buys all of his AMSOIL products from his father, Jerome Clampitt, in Jacksonville, Fla
The elder Clampitt owns On Site Truck Service, a mobile truck repair business. He’s also an AMSOIL Dealer. “I run AMSOIL motor oils and lubricants in everything I have,” the elder Clampitt said. “So does my son.”

Almost two years ago, the younger Clampitt, who is a subcontractor, bought a new air compressor with a 5.5 horsepower Honda engine. “This compressor runs four to five days a week, all day long,” said the elder Clampitt. His son installed AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil and AMSOIL Synthetic Compressor Oil in his compressor when he bought it, Clampitt said.

“Recently, it lost compression,” said Clampitt, who serviced the compressor. “Upon removing the head I found the problem to be weak valve springs. The inside was beautiful. It still has the hatch marks in the cylinder wall. Two springs, grind the valves, a few gaskets later and he’s going again. Thanks AMSOIL.”

A Highly Compatible Compressor Oil SIROCCO™ is a revolutionary compressor oil specially formulated to be compatible with the vast majority of compressor oils currently available on the market. It is compatible with mineral oils and synthetic oils, including glycol-based compressor oils such as Sullair Sullube 32® and Ingersoll-Rand SSR Ultra Coolant®, and requires no flushing when changing over from these lubes. SIROCCO™ is not compatible with silicone compressor oils such as Sullair 24KT™.

Unsurpassed Synthetic Performance

SIROCCO™ is designed to work in virtually every make and model of rotary screw compressors. Rotary screw compressor lubricants typically require elevated levels of rust and oxidation protection because compressor oils can get extremely hot. If these oils are not protected by oxidation resistant additive systems, they form carbon deposits which significantly reduce oil life. Because SIROCCO™ has been formulated with outstanding oxidation protection, it is well suited for compressors that call for an ISO-32 or ISO-46 compressor oil. The nature of compressed air also poses serious challenges to any compressor lubricant. When air is compressed, humidity in the air is also compressed and forms moisture inside the compression chamber. This moisture eventually builds up to contamination levels and saturates the compressor lubricant. Because this entrained water can cause rusting, increased wear, and a breakdown in lubricant film protection, the compressor lubricant must readily separate from water. Test results clearly demonstrate that SIROCCO™ provides much better demulsibility than other leading glycol-based compressor oils. And SIROCCO™ Compressor Oil is biodegradable, ensuring an enviromentally friendly condensate discharge, which reduces the hazardous waste disposal concerns common with glycol-based compressor oils.

Competitively Priced

AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Compressor Oil is priced at an average of $1,000 to $1,500 less per drum than SSR Ultra-Coolant ® or Sullair Sullube 32®, providing significant savings over PAG-type fluids. And because SIROCCO™ is compatible with virtually all rotary screw compressors, customers can rely on one compressor lubricant for many pieces of equipment, lowering inventory requirements and reducing overall operating costs.

Extended Service Life Lowers Operating Costs

SIROCCO™ also offers consumers the benefit of extended service life. SIROCCO™ is so oxidatively stable that it has a recommended service life of 8,000 hours (about one year of constant compressor operation) contributing to significant maintenance savings. The low friction design characteristics of SIROCCO™ also contribute to considerable reductions (3% to 8%) in the energy required to operate industrial compressors. AMSOIL SIROCCO™ Synthetic Compressor Oil won a bronze Award in the “Plant Services MRO Product of the Year” competition. In fact, SIROCCO™ was the only lubricant product named this year. SIROCCO™ has already had a profound impact on the rotary screw compressor oil market by offering users tremendous performance and cost savings over competitive products. These qualities make SIROCCO™ Compressor Oil exactly the type of high-performance, high-value product that customers have come to expect from AMSOIL.
