Maintaining a routine oil change is important in preventing breakdowns and extends the life of your air compressor. Over time oil will lose its lubrication properties and become contaminated with dirt and or water, even when not being used.

So when should you change the oil?

It all depends on what type of air compressor you have, the type of oil, and how many hours it runs.

Typical reciprocating/piston every 3 to 6 months.

Screw type air compressors depending on the oil will need to be changed every 3000-8000 hours or every 6 to 12 months. Some applications may constitute more frequent intervals.
