The following are general characteristics for a piston lubricant. Due to the impossibility of establishing limits
on all physical and chemical properties of lubricants which can affect their performance in the compressor
over a broad range of environmental influences, the responsibility for recommending and consistently
furnishing a suitable heavy duty lubricant must rest with the individual supplier if they choose not to use the
recommended Boss Piston lubricant. The lubricant supplier's recommendation must, therefore, be based
upon not only the following general characteristics, but also upon his own knowledge of the suitability of the
recommended lubricant in piston air compressors operating in the particular environment involved.
