Selecting the proper air compressor oil is a necessity to ensure its longevity. Using the incorrect style of oil may degrade the internal components of the pump and motor. Air compressor manufacturers require a special type of lubricant for a reason - they want their products to last. Ingersoll Rand is no different.

IR has a variety of compressor oil to meet each machine's needs. Below is a brief description of a few of IR's oil, as well as the types of machines that they most commonly are used with. It is strongly recommended however that you give us a call at 1-866-203-2944 before you buy - as a way to ensure that you compressor will last for years to come.

Reciprocating / Piston Air Compressor Oil

T30 All Season Select Synthetic Lubricant: T30 All Season Select oil was most commonly used in Ingersoll Rand's reciprocating air compressors manufactured after the year 2000. All-Season Select lubricant is a synthetic, all temperature blend that is designed to increase efficiency, reduce wear, and prevent carbon build-up. It performs four times longer than petroleum-based lubricants. The All Season Select T30 Synthetic Lubricant is specifically formulated to keep reciprocating air compressors protected and operating at the highest level. This all-temperature lubricant works effectively in both low and high temperature applications, helping the air compressor run cooler for optimal performance. This oil can also be used in any non-Ingersoll Rand compressor that utilizes an ISO 100 / 30 weight synthetic oil.

  • 38436721 - 1 Quart of All Season Select lubricant
  • 38440236 - 1 Gallon of All Season Select lubricant

XL-300 Non-Synthetic Compressor Oil: Ingersoll Rand XL-300 compressor lubricant is an ISO 100 / 30 weight non-synthetic and non-detergent air compressor oil. XL300 is most commonly used in older (pre 2000's) Ingersoll Rand piston and reciprocating air compressors. XL300 can also be used in any reciprocating compressor that uses a non-synthetic style oil.

  • 32268427 - 1 Quart of XL-300 compressor oil
  • 37949542 - 1 Gallon of XL-300 compressor oil

Ingersoll Rand Rotary Screw Compressor Oil

Ultra Coolant 8000 Hour Synthetic Lubricant: Ultra Coolant is Ingersoll Rand's most popular rotary screw air compressor oil. This is a polyglycol based coolant designed to achieve peak compressor performance for contact cooled rotary screw compressors. Ultra Coolant is the industry's leading lubricant, specifically designed to help rotary screw compressors maintain peak performance at a full range of temperatures, minimizing operating costs and environmental impact. Ultra Coolant should be changed every 8,000 compressor run hours or every two years, whichever occurs first. This is an ISO46 weight oil and can be used in virtually any rotary screw air compressor.

  • 92692284 - 1.2 gallons / 5 liters of Ultra Coolant
  • 38459582 - 5.3 gallons / 20 liters of Ultra Coolant

Ultra Food Grade Rotary Oil: For manufacturing facilities where the air comes into contact with any food or beverage applications, Ultra Food Grade is an H1 and NSF certified food grade compressor lubricant. Ultra FG contains an additive that exhibits antimicrobial activity to protect the lubricant against bacteria, yeasts and molds. The additive also protects the lubricant from contamination caused by food-borne microorganisms and inhibits lubricant degradation. Ultra FG is made from synthetic alkylated naphthalenes, which provide solvency and dispersing characteristics. The lubricant does not form abrasive deposits commonly found in conventional fluids, such as polyalphaolefins (PAOs), increasing your compressor's reliability. This is an ISO 46 oil rated to a life of 8,000 hours.

  • 23973969 - 1.2 gallons / 5 liters of Ultra Food Grade Coolant
  • 23973977 - 5.3 gallons / 20 liters of Ultra Food Grade Coolant

Ultra 4K Rotary Lubricant: Although not as popular and common as Ultra Coolant, Ultra 4k is a 4,000 hour life lubricant used in several smaller rotary screw air compressors. This is a more economical oil option if you are only running one 8 hour shift at your facility.

  • 47703841001 - 1.2 gallons / 5 liters of Ultra 4K Coolant
  • 47696743001 - 5.3 gallons / 20 liters of Ultra 4K Coolant

Ultra Plus Coolant: Ultra Plus compressor oil was used in a wide variety of Ingersoll Rand rotary compressors manufactured between 2000 and 2010. This oil was rated for 9,000 hours of use. Ingersoll Rand discontinued the use of this oil around 2010 and Ultra Coolant is the suggested replacement.
