PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic
Compressor Oil (SEI) is formulated with premium
synthetic ester technology. This high-quality,
long-life fluid lasts several times longer in use
than mineral-based oils. AMSOIL SIROCCO®
Compressor Oil is fully formulated with
nondetergent additives and is designed for use in
rotary screw compressors and vacuum pumps.
SIROCCO® effectively protects against wear,
oxidation, foam and rust and has inherent
lubricity and good thermal conductivity which
allow it to reduce heat and energy consumption.
AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil increases operating
efficiency, reducing money spent on energy, repair
and maintenance costs.
AMSOIL SIROCCO®
Synthetic Compressor Oil maintains performance
across a wide operating temperature range. Its low
pour point, high viscosity index and lack of
paraffins (wax) makes it an excellent all season
lubricant. At high temperatures, SIROCCO® forms
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. SIROCCO® Compressor Oil also
resists water to prevent damaging oil/water
emulsions, allowing for longer lubricant life and
ease of water removal from the sump.

FEATURES
• Resists
foaming • Rust and oxidation inhibited •
Readily separates from water • Recommended
for use in rotary screw compressors •
Long-life/extended drain performance. •
Compatible with polyglycol fluids such as
Sullair Sullube 32® and Ingersoll-Rand SSR
Ultra-coolant® • Biodegradable under the
CEC-L33-A94 standard safety
advantage
AMSOIL SIROCCO®
Synthetic Ester Compressor Oil has higher flash,
fire and auto ignition points than competitive
petroleum oils. Its resistance to carbon formation
and the ashless additive system minimize the
incidence of deposits acting as ignition-promoting
hot spots. Although AMSOIL SIROCCO® Synthetic
Compressor Oil increases fire safety, it cannot be
considered nonflammable.
APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION AMSOIL SIROCCO®
Synthetic Compressor Oil 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
SIROCCO® Compressor Oil, 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 SIROCCO® Compressor Oil has 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 SIROCCO®
Compressor Oil is compatible with and recommended
as a replacement for much higher priced
polyalkylene glycol (PAG) compressor oils or
coolants such as Sullair Sullube 32® and Ingersoll
Rand SSR Ultra Coolant®. No flushing is necessary
when changing over from Glycol Coolants to AMSOIL
SIROCCO® Compressor Oil. However, draining the
system and changing the filters is
recommended.
AMSOIL SIROCCO®
Synthetic Compressor Oil 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.
COMPATIBILITY AMSOIL
SIROCCO® Compressor Oil 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 SIROCCO® Compressor Oil
are listed below.
*AMSOIL SIROCCO® Compressor Oil is
NOT RECOMMENDED as a replacement for or for use
with the silicone-based compressor oil Sullair
Sullube 24KT®. AMSOIL SIROCCO® is NOT RECOMMENDED
for use in“Breathing Air or Refrigeration”
compressors.
