Frequently Asked Questions
ELGi Compressor Lubricant Cleaner, 5.3 Gal Pail
▶️ Question: When should I use a compressor lubricant cleaner?
Answer: Common use cases include switching lubricant types, addressing varnish/deposit buildup, or after contamination events—only when the compressor’s service procedure approves it.
▶️ Question: Do I still need to change the oil after using a cleaner?
Answer: Yes. Cleaner is typically a service step before refilling with the correct lubricant. Filters are often replaced as part of the same maintenance event.
▶️ Question: Can I leave the cleaner in the compressor for normal operation?
Answer: No. Lubricant cleaners are not intended as long-term operating fluids. Follow the maintenance instructions and refill with the specified lubricant.
▶️ Question: Will a cleaner fix every varnish or contamination issue?
Answer: Not always. Severity matters. If deposits are extensive, additional service steps may be required—consult ELGi service guidance.
▶️ Question: What else should I do during a flush/cleaning service?
Answer: Verify drains, check separator condition, replace filters, and ensure ventilation is adequate to keep operating temperatures in range.
