Choosing the Right Compressor Oil: Aftermarket vs. OEM

Which Oil is Right for Your Compressor?

When choosing the best lubricant for your compressor, selecting the correct oil ensures optimal performance and protects your investment. Among the top choices for compressor oils, Mattei RotorOil and ISEL stand out. However, if your compressor is still under warranty, it’s essential to understand why Mattei RotorOil might be the better choice.


Mattei RotorOil: The Best Choice for Warranty Protection

Mattei RotorOil is formulated specifically to meet the standards of Mattei compressors, making it an ideal choice for warranty compliance. Using RotorOil ensures that you’re meeting Mattei's specifications, reducing the risk of voiding your warranty due to improper maintenance.

By sticking with Mattei’s recommended oil, you can feel confident that:

  • The oil will work in harmony with Mattei's engineering, providing optimal lubrication and cooling.
  • Any potential warranty claims are more likely to be honored since Mattei RotorOil meets all required standards.

Why ISEL Oils are a Strong Alternative (When Out of Warranty)

ISEL oils are a reliable option for general compressor lubrication, known for their durability and ability to withstand tough working conditions. If your compressor is out of warranty, ISEL can be an excellent choice due to its high-quality formulation and typically lower cost.

Our range of ISEL compressor oils offers various viscosities and formulations to suit different operational needs. However, it’s essential to recognize that using ISEL in a Mattei compressor still under warranty could potentially lead to complications if a warranty claim arises.


Bottom Line: When to Use Mattei RotorOil vs. ISEL

In summary:

  • For compressors still under warranty: Choose Mattei RotorOil to maintain warranty protection and ensure compatibility.
  • For compressors out of warranty: ISEL oils can provide a reliable, cost-effective option.
