Table of Contents

The following table lists materials that are suitable or not

recommended for use with synthetic oil. As some oil

escapes into the compressed air, all components that

come into contact with the air (i.e., piping, filters, hoses,

tools, etc) must be compatible with synthetic oil.

Northern Tool recommends using synthetic oil after the

first 50 hour break in period.
