This Morris Lubricants Compressor Oil (ISO VG 150, MPN 4200) is designed for vane compressors, particularly Hydrovane types, offering extended service life and reduced wear. It ensures minimal oil carryover and protects against corrosion, but its performance is contingent on staying within specified temperature limits (bulk oil <90°C, ambient <35°C), beyond which more frequent changes are necessary.

This oil is specially formulated for vane compressors, particularly Hydrovane types, and is also suitable for continuous operation, stop/start industrial compressors, and certain vehicle-mounted or reciprocating compressors.
ISO VG 150 refers to the viscosity grade of the oil according to the International Organization for Standardization. It indicates a medium viscosity oil suitable for specific operating temperatures and compressor types.
Under optimal conditions (bulk oil temperature not exceeding 90°C and ambient temperature not exceeding 35°C), the fluid is designed for a 2000-hour service life.
If the bulk oil temperature exceeds 90°C or the ambient temperature exceeds 35°C, more frequent oil changes will be required to maintain adequate protection.
While it is designed for compatibility with most downstream equipment, it is generally recommended to avoid mixing different types of compressor oils. Always consult your compressor's manual for specific guidance on oil changes and compatibility.
Minimal oil carryover means less oil enters the compressed air stream. This helps to prolong the life of downstream equipment like filters and tools and improves the quality of the compressed air.
Yes, the formula includes corrosion inhibitors to protect the internal components of the compressor system.
Check that the oil level is correct. Ensure operating temperatures are within the recommended limits (bulk oil <90°C, ambient <35°C). Clean air intake filters and cooling fins.
Verify that the oil level is not overfilled. Check the condition and seating of the oil separator element. Ensure the operating pressure is within the compressor's specifications.
This is uncommon with this formulation. Ensure the correct oil grade is used and that no water ingress is occurring. If the issue persists, consult the compressor manufacturer.
Monitor and ensure operating temperatures remain within the specified limits (bulk oil <90°C, ambient <35°C). High operating temperatures are the primary cause for reduced oil life.
Setup: Ensure the compressor is shut down and depressurized before draining old oil. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for filling with the correct grade of oil. Only use the specified ISO VG 150 viscosity.
Compatibility: This fluid is specifically formulated for vane compressors, notably Hydrovane types. It meets DIN 51506 VBL and ISO 6743-3 DAH (68)/DAA (150) performance levels and is compatible with most downstream equipment. However, always consult your compressor manufacturer's manual to confirm compatibility before use.
Care: To achieve the rated 2000-hour service life, monitor operating temperatures. The bulk oil temperature should not exceed 90°C, and the ambient temperature should ideally be below 35°C. If these limits are exceeded, reduce the oil change interval accordingly. Regularly check the oil level and condition. Store the oil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure containers are sealed when not in use.
