About the range

Compressor oils are formulated to withstand the high temperatures and pressure cycling generated within air compressors, while maintaining efficient air/oil separation and protecting internal components. Gem Oils supplies compressor oils suited to both rotary screw and reciprocating compressor types.

Compressor performance and service life depend heavily on oil quality, particularly oxidation stability at sustained operating temperature and the ability to separate cleanly from compressed air. Using the correct compressor oil helps reduce carbon and varnish formation and supports consistent air output.

Common Questions

Compressor Oils Products FAQs

Answers to the questions we are most commonly asked by garages, fleet operators, and motor factors. For vehicle-specific advice, contact our technical team directly.

The required compressor oil type depends on the compressor design — rotary screw and reciprocating compressors have different requirements. The correct product is specified by the compressor manufacturer and will be in the equipment manual. Contact the Gem Oils technical team with your compressor make and model to confirm the right product.

Poor air/oil separation allows oil to carry over into the compressed air line, which contaminates downstream equipment and increases oil consumption. In rotary screw compressors in particular, a well-formulated compressor oil with good separation properties is important for maintaining air quality and reducing running costs.

Change intervals depend on the oil type, operating temperature and the compressor manufacturer’s recommendation. Synthetic compressor oils generally support longer service intervals than mineral oils. Always follow the schedule set out in your compressor’s service manual.
