Frequently Asked Questions
What types of compressor oil does Pilot Air offer?
Pilot Air supplies several grades of compressor oil, including ISO 100, ISO 150 mineral oils for reciprocating pumps, and synthetic ISO 46 for rotary screw compressors.
Is the compressor oil made for Australian conditions?
Yes — Pilot Air compressor oil is Australian-made and formulated to withstand high heat, dust, and demanding duty cycles, making it especially suitable for workshops and industries across Sydney and beyond.
Which oil grade should I use for my compressor?
For single-stage reciprocating pumps, use ISO 100; for two-stage reciprocating pumps, use ISO 150; and for rotary screw compressors, use the synthetic ISO 46. These recommendations are outlined on the Pilot Air Compressor Oil page to help you select the correct grade.
How often should compressor oil be changed or checked?
Oil change frequency depends on usage, duty cycle, and operating conditions. In high-heat or dusty environments, more frequent changes are recommended. Maintenance advice can be found on the Pilot Air Compressor Oil page and in your product manual.
Can I use the same oil across both reciprocating and rotary screw compressors?
No — the mineral oils are intended for reciprocating units, while the synthetic ISO 46 is designed for rotary screw models. Using the wrong oil type can reduce performance and lifespan. Always check the compressor oil guide to ensure the correct match.
Pilot Air Reviews
We have a growing manufacturing business and our air supply needed to be upgraded to deliver to a clean volume of air to specific machines and mainly our spray booth. 3 Months ago the team at Pilot Air evaluated our requirement and delivered an excellent solution, we have had time to run the system for a considerable time and found it to be excellent. Also Australian Manufactured to boot. Very Happy.

My husband recently bought a second hand Trademaster 12 air compressor in need of some maintenance. He took it to the Silverwater servicing centre with no prior arrangement. The staff were polite, obliging, and eager to help, and he was impressed with the service provided. Well done Pilot Air!
