ISO VG 46 Compressor Oils

ISO VG 46 Compressor Oils & Lubricants

ProAirSupply offers ISO VG 46 compressor oils and lubricants for industrial air compressors and compressed air systems. ISO VG 46 is a commonly specified viscosity grade used in many rotary screw, rotary vane, and other lubricated compressor applications.

Compressor oils within the same ISO viscosity grade may use very different base stocks, additive packages, and lubricant chemistries. Always verify the compressor manufacturer's lubricant specification before selecting a replacement.

Looking for a specific ISO VG 46 compressor oil? Enter the lubricant manufacturer, compressor model, OEM oil part number, or product name in the ProAirSupply search bar to locate available lubricants.

What Does ISO VG 46 Mean?

ISO VG 46 identifies the lubricant's ISO viscosity grade. It is commonly used to classify industrial oils according to their kinematic viscosity at 40°C.

The ISO VG designation describes viscosity, but it does not identify the lubricant chemistry or determine whether two compressor oils are compatible.

ISO VG 46 Compressor Oil Types

ISO VG 46 compressor lubricants may be available in several formulations depending on the compressor and application, including:

• Mineral-based compressor oils
• Semi-synthetic compressor lubricants
• Synthetic hydrocarbon lubricants
• PAG compressor oils
• POE synthetic compressor oils
• Food-grade and specialty compressor lubricants

Lubricants with different chemistries should not be mixed or substituted solely because they share the ISO VG 46 viscosity grade.

ISO VG 46 Rotary Screw Compressor Oils

ISO VG 46 is frequently used in industrial rotary screw compressor applications. The lubricant helps provide cooling, sealing, lubrication, and protection for internal compressor components.

Always confirm the required lubricant chemistry and OEM specification in addition to the ISO viscosity grade.

Selecting the Correct ISO VG 46 Compressor Oil

The correct lubricant should be selected using the compressor manufacturer, compressor model, OEM lubricant specification, base-fluid chemistry, operating conditions, and required viscosity grade.

Two ISO VG 46 oils may have significantly different formulations and service characteristics, so they should not automatically be considered interchangeable.

Compressor Oil Maintenance

Compressor lubricant should be replaced according to the equipment manufacturer's recommended service interval. Operating temperature, compressor load, contamination, environmental conditions, and lubricant formulation can all affect oil life.

During an oil change, inspect related maintenance components such as compressor oil filters, air intake filters, and air/oil separators where applicable.
