Oil and its additives are crucial in system performance. Vilter Manufacturing will NOT APPROVE non-Vilter oils
for use with Vilter compressors. Due to the innumerable choices available it is not possible for us to test all oils
offered in the market place, and their effects on our equipment.
We realize that customers may choose lubricants other than Vilter branded oil. This is certainly within the
customers’ right as owners of the equipment. When this choice is made, however, Vilter is unable to accept
responsibility for any detrimental affects those lubricants may have on the equipment or system performance
and durability.
Should a lubrication related system issue occur with the use of non-Vilter oils, Vilter may deny warranty upon
evaluation of the issue. This includes any parts’ failure caused by inadequate lubrication.
Certainly, there are many good lubricants in the market place. The choice of a lubricant for a particular ap-
plication involves consideration of many aspects of the lubricant and how it and its additive package will
react in the various parts of the entire system. It is a complex choice that depends on a combination of field
experience, lab and field-testing, and knowledge of lubricant chosen. Vilter will not accept those risks other
than for our own lubricants.
