Castrol Aircol compressor oils — Aircol CM (mineral, ISO VG 68 and 100 for rotary screw + reciprocating compressors at OEM-specified drain), Aircol SR (PAO synthetic, extended drain capability, higher discharge-temperature tolerance), Aircol SN (ester, for piston compressors) and Aircol HV (vacuum pumps). Per ISO 6743-3 DAA/DAB. Vasundhara Specialities supplies the full Aircol range across AP and Telangana with technical support for compressor-OEM cross-equivalence (Atlas Copco, Ingersoll Rand, ELGI, Kirloskar) and oil-condition monitoring.
Castrol Aircol is the air-compressor lubricant range that's OEM-approved across the major rotary-screw compressor brands installed across South India's industrial base. Atlas Copco GA-series, Ingersoll Rand R-series, ELGI EG-series, Kirloskar KPC-series — the lubricant chart inside each compressor's service manual typically lists either OEM-branded oil or "Castrol Aircol equivalent." Aircol CM (mineral, ISO VG 68 and 100) is the standard rotary-screw oil, drained on the compressor OEM schedule. Aircol SR (PAO synthetic) extends that interval and tolerates higher discharge temperatures — useful in Hyderabad pharma plant compressed-air systems where compressor-room temperatures hit 40°C in summer. Aircol SR carries the synthetic premium for the most demanding rotary-screw service where drain interval is the operational bottleneck. The technical edge that earns Aircol its premium: low oil-carry-over into condensate (less downstream filter loading), excellent demulsibility (water separates cleanly at the receiver drain), and oxidation stability that holds TAN low for the full drain interval. For pharma compressed-air systems serving tablet press, capsule filling, and packaging line air — where any oil aerosol contamination would void product quality — Aircol SR's lower volatility is the safe choice. Vasundhara Specialities supplies the full Aircol range across AP and Telangana with periodic oil-condition monitoring and OEM cross-reference support. Castrol India's Aircol compressor oil portfolio covers all rotary-screw, vane, and reciprocating compressor specifications.
Complete Castrol coverage across the castrol aircol compressor oils family.
Mineral compressor oil with anti-wear additives, ISO VG 68 and 100. Castrol specifies it for reciprocating and rotary-screw air compressors. Viscosity index 100 (CM 68) and 95 (CM 100); pour point −36°C and −33°C. The high-volume Castrol compressor oil for general industrial service.
Fully synthetic PAO compressor oil, ISO VG 32 and 46, for air and screw compressors — and for multicellular compressors in the VG 68 and 100 range. Very high viscosity index (133–135) and pour point −54°C for cold starts and sustained high discharge temperatures.
Dicarbonic-acid-ester compressor oil, ISO VG 100, viscosity index 89, pour point −40°C. Specified by Castrol for piston air compressors.
Mineral vacuum-pump oil with a narrow boiling range, ISO VG 95, viscosity index 100. For mechanical fine and high vacuum pumps — pharmaceutical, electronics and laboratory service.
Where compressor specs match hydraulic-fluid requirements (some smaller reciprocating units), Castrol Hyspin AWH may also be appropriate. Cross-reference OEM-recommendation matrix with our technical team to confirm.
Standard property values across the range. TDS / MSDS / per-batch COA available on enquiry.

Where Castrol Aircol Compressor Oils ship from our Hyderabad warehouse — by industry segment + application profile.
Hyderabad pharma cluster (Bollaram, Patancheru, Jeedimetla) — clean-air compressed-air systems for tablet pressing, capsule filling, packaging. Aircol SR for low-volatility (reduces aerosol carry-over) + extended drain for clean-room continuous service.
Aircol SR for food-plant compressed-air where downstream filtration must catch any trace aerosol. Lower volatility = less downstream filter loading. For ISO 8573-1 Class 1 air-quality requirements.
Aircol CM 68 for tier-1 / tier-2 automotive-supplier rotary-screw compressors providing pneumatic-tool air, paint-shop air, assembly-line pneumatics. Atlas Copco, Ingersoll Rand, ELGI installed-base.
Aircol CM for high-discharge-temperature reciprocating compressors in steel mills + heavy-engineering plants. Pairs with Spheerol greases for compressor-bearing service.
Aircol CM for portable diesel-driven and electric-driven construction-and-mining compressors. Tougher service profile — dust ingress, ambient-temperature swings, intermittent operation.
Where the compressor itself sits in the food/pharma-zone or the discharge directly contacts product, Castrol Optileb food-grade equivalents may be required — see our Optileb page for NSF H1 alternatives.

Common questions from maintenance + procurement buyers sourcing Castrol Aircol Compressor Oils through Vasundhara Specialities.
For Atlas Copco rotary-screw compressors at 8 bar discharge in Hyderabad's 30-42°C ambient: Aircol CM is the standard mineral-grade specification, with the grade confirmed against the compressor duty and the drain interval taken from the Atlas Copco service schedule. Where the duty is high-uptime, or the compressor room runs hot, Aircol SR 46 PAO synthetic holds condition longer between drains. Always cross-check the specific Atlas Copco model's OEM lubricant chart — some models specifically require synthetic from new.
Aircol CM is mineral; Aircol SR is PAO synthetic. SR holds condition materially longer between drains, tolerates higher discharge temperatures, and produces less oil carry-over into compressed-air condensate. Synthetic premium pays back when: (1) drain interval is the operational bottleneck, (2) compressor sees high discharge temperatures consistently, (3) oil-mist downstream contamination is an HSE / product-quality concern. For general-industrial service on a standard drain interval, mineral Aircol CM is cost-effective.
Take the interval from the compressor OEM schedule and let oil analysis confirm or extend it. Discharge temperature, filtration and duty cycle move the real figure far more than the grade does: a pharma compressed-air system with good filtration and a stable oil temperature will run Aircol SR well past a hot, poorly filtered installation on the same oil. Trending TAN, viscosity drift and water content is what tells you which case you are in, and Vasundhara Specialities supports periodic sample analysis as part of the supply relationship.
Yes. Aircol CM is fully miscible with Mobil Rarus, Shell Corena and Total Dacnis mineral compressor oils for top-up and changeover purposes. For full performance benefit on first-fill of a new compressor or after rebuild, follow OEM flush-and-fill recommendation. For PAO synthetic transitions (Aircol SR), full system flush with mineral grade purge is recommended to clear any varnish deposits before synthetic charge.
Standard Aircol CM / SR / SN grades are NOT NSF H1 certified — they are industrial compressor oils. For applications where the compressor is in the food/pharma zone or compressed air may contact food product directly, use Castrol Optileb food-grade compressor oil — see our Optileb page for the NSF H1 range. Aircol covers general industrial compressed-air; Optileb covers food-grade.
Aircol HV 100 is the Castrol vacuum-pump oil — a mineral oil with a narrow boiling range for mechanical fine and high vacuum pumps. Where an OEM specifies a turbine-grade or compressor-grade oil. However, dedicated vacuum-pump lubricants typically have lower vapour pressure and better dewatering — for serious vacuum-pump service, OEM-specific vacuum-pump oil is preferred. For standard rotary-vane industrial vacuum pumps, Aircol HV 100 is the correct choice. Cross-reference the specific OEM model.
Standard pack sizes: 20L pail (sample/single-machine top-up), 210L drum (standard plant maintenance), 1000L IBC tote (bulk/high-volume), and bulk-tanker direct-to-tank for large installations. Aircol SR PAO synthetics typically available in 20L and 210L formats. Bulk pricing on volumes >1000L.
