This Contractor's Choice CT-16 Compressor Oil is an essential maintenance fluid formulated specifically to keep air compressors running efficiently.

• Function: Compressor oil is critical for lubricating the internal moving parts—like the pistons, bearings, and cylinder walls—of an air compressor pump. It reduces friction, manages heat dissipation, and prevents internal rust and corrosion, which significantly extends the lifespan of the compressor.

• Maintenance Note: Regular oil changes are vital for compressor longevity. Using the correct viscosity oil ensures that your compressor maintains its pressure output without the motor overworking, which in turn prevents overheating and premature pump failure.

• Application: This is designed for standard shop or job-site reciprocating air compressors. Always ensure the compressor is powered off and depressurized before checking or filling the oil reservoir.
