Atlas Copco PAROIL M 5L Compressor Oil 1615594700

Atlas Copco 1615594700 PAROIL M 5L is a mineral-based compressor oil developed for Atlas Copco portable compressors. PAROIL M is designed for single-stage, low-pressure compressor applications operating under standard ambient conditions. The 5-liter container is listed by Atlas Copco Parts Online under part number 1615594700, also formatted as 1615 5947 00.

Product Information

Paroil M is a high-performance, mineral-based compressor oil developed specifically for Atlas Copco portable compressors. It is designed for use in single-stage, low-pressure compressors operating between 7 and 12 bar, and in ambient temperatures ranging from -10°C to +30°C (14°F to 86°F). This formulation ensures optimal protection and performance under standard-duty cycles in moderate climates, making it ideal for applications such as construction sites, light industrial operations, and road and infrastructure maintenance.

1615594700 vs Other PAROIL Products

Atlas Copco offers several different lubricant formulations and package sizes. For example:

The important point is that PAROIL M and PAROIL S are different lubricant formulations, while PAROIL 15W40 is an engine oil product. They should not be treated as interchangeable products. Atlas Copco documentation distinguishes these products and their part numbers.

Why Correct Compressor Oil Matters

Compressor oil performs several functions simultaneously. It lubricates moving components, helps control operating temperatures and provides protection against wear and oxidation.

Using the correct formulation can help maintain:

• Stable lubrication performance
• Protection of internal components
• Appropriate oil viscosity during operation
• Reduced wear on moving parts
• Good separation of water from the lubricant
• Controlled foaming and air release

For portable compressors working in demanding environments, lubricant condition can have a direct impact on maintenance requirements and equipment reliability.

Do Not Mix Different Oil Types

Atlas Copco specifically advises against mixing PAROIL M with other compressor oils, and its instructions state that mineral and synthetic oils should not simply be mixed. If changing between mineral and synthetic oil types, the prescribed flushing/change procedure should be followed.

Therefore, when changing lubricant type, technicians should consult the compressor’s service documentation rather than treating the new oil as a simple top-up.

Oil Change and Maintenance

Oil replacement intervals should not be assumed solely from the oil product name. The correct interval depends on the compressor model, operating conditions and manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.

Atlas Copco’s published PAROIL M documentation lists a 500-hour or 1-year service interval for the specified equipment/application, while the current product page advises users to follow the maintenance recommendations for their specific machine.

During an oil service, technicians should also consider:

• Checking the compressor oil level
• Inspecting for oil contamination
• Checking for abnormal oil consumption
• Inspecting oil filters and related components
• Looking for oil leaks
• Confirming the correct lubricant before refilling
