Lubrication Guidelines Table 3-2 on page 43 can be
used. Any of these oils are suitable under conditions
where severe oil oxidations can occur.
Water must be drained from the receiver tank
periodically. In high ambient temperature and high
humidity conditions,
emulsify with the oil forming a "milky" color. ATF or
SAE 10W is especially prone to this condition. The
fluid should be changed if this condition develops.
CAUTION
DO NOT mix types of fluids. Combinations
of different fluids may lead to operational
problems such as foaming, filter plugging,
orifice or line plugging.
When ambient conditions exceed those noted or if
conditions warrant use of other extended life
lubricants, contact Sullair for recommendations.
Sullair encourages the user to participate in a fluid
analysis program. This could result in a fluid change
interval differing from that stated in the manual.
Sullair Corporation offers a fluid analysis program for
Sullair AWF. Contact your local Sullair representative
