MOLYKOTE L-1268 Synthetic Compressor Oil
MOLYKOTE L-1268 Synthetic Compressor Oil High-performance synthetic compressor oil designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for diverse rotary and reciprocating compressor applications.
MOLYKOTE L-1268 Synthetic Compressor Oil is a high-quality lubricant engineered to provide superior performance in a wide range of compressor and vacuum pump applications. It is formulated to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fill product performance, ensuring optimal operation for various equipment types including rotary, reciprocating, screw, vane, centrifugal, and piston compressors, as well as vacuum pumps and blowers. Proper usage requires adherence to equipment manufacturer's recommendations regarding maintenance and oil specifications.
Regular oil analysis is recommended to monitor lubricant condition, track additive depletion, detect contamination, and maximize the oil's lifespan. This proactive approach helps maintain optimal equipment performance and extends the service life of the lubricating fluid. The product has a shelf life of 60 months from the manufacturing date; refer to the product packaging for the "Use By" date. MOLYKOTE L-1268 should not be mixed with mineral oil or PAO-based lubricants due to incompatibility.
