Extend the life of your piston compressor with the oil it was designed for. A piston compressor works at high temperatures in the compression chamber; with the wrong oil, sludge and carbon build up on the valves, performance drops and the cylinder head wears prematurely. This mineral-based oil with special additives is non-detergent and ash-free, with anti-wear, anti-corrosion and antioxidant properties.
It is formulated for compression temperatures of 160 to 220 °C to DIN 51506 VC-L and VD-L: it forms little sludge and carbon residue, produces little foam, separates water well and is compatible with common seals and gaskets. Available in a 1 litre bottle and a 5 litre container.
Benefits
Complete protection: anti-wear, anti-corrosion and antioxidant.
Less carbon: little sludge and residue on valves and cylinder head.
Low foaming and good water separation: stable lubrication.
Compatible with seals and gaskets: does not attack or dry them out.
What it is for
Oil changes and top-ups on lubricated piston compressors.
Belt-driven and direct-drive workshop compressors.
Preventive maintenance of the compressed air installation.

Vetonek tip
Do not mix with car engine oil: detergent oils produce carbon deposits on the compressor valves. Change the oil while the compressor is warm so it drains better, and take the opportunity to clean the intake filter.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I change the oil?
Follow the intervals in your compressor's manual and check the level with the dipstick or sight glass before each use.
Is it suitable for screw compressors?
No, for screw compressors use the specific screw compressor oil.
Can I use car engine oil?
It is not recommended: engine oils are detergent and form carbon deposits on the compressor valves.
Which container size suits me?
The 1 litre bottle for top-ups and small compressors; the 5 litre container for complete changes or if you have several machines.
Is it suitable for oil-free compressors?
No. Oil-free (dry) compressors have no sump and do not need lubrication.
