Essential Protection for Your Piston Compressor
Proper lubrication forms the cornerstone of reliable operation for any air compressor, particularly for precision-engineered piston models. The lubricant acts as the lifeblood of the machine, diligently reducing friction, dissipating heat, and safeguarding critical components from wear.
Key Features and Benefits
The Role of Lubricant
Within a piston air compressor, the lubricant performs multiple critical functions under highly demanding conditions.
Firstly, it creates a crucial film between moving parts like pistons, cylinders, connecting rods, and crankshafts, effectively minimizing friction and preventing metal-to-metal contact. This action directly reduces wear and tear, significantly extending the lifespan of these vital components.
Secondly, the lubricant assists in sealing the compression chamber, ensuring maximum volumetric efficiency and preventing air leakage past the piston rings. Furthermore, it actively carries away heat generated during compression, preventing thermal degradation of components.
Finally, the lubricant also plays a vital role in cleaning the internal system, suspending contaminants and transporting them to the filter. Therefore, the quality and specific formulation of the lubricant remain paramount for maintaining your piston compressor's performance, efficiency, and longevity.
Introducing the Genuine Atlas Copco 5L Piston Lubricant

This lubricant is not merely a generic oil; it is a proprietary blend engineered to withstand the high temperatures, pressures, and shear forces characteristic of piston compression. Its advanced composition ensures exceptional thermal stability, resisting breakdown and sludge formation even under continuous, heavy-duty operation.
Furthermore, it incorporates specialized anti-wear additives that provide superior protection to critical internal components. This lubricant also offers excellent resistance to oxidation, minimizing acid formation and extending oil drain intervals. Packaged in a convenient 5-liter container, it provides the precise volume often needed for regular maintenance, making refills straightforward and accurate.
What Atlas Copco Piston Compressors Using This Lubricant?
The Atlas Copco 5L Piston Lubricant (2901179100 / 1630204005) is specifically formulated and recommended for a range of Atlas Copco piston air compressors. Its unique properties are designed to meet the demanding requirements of these reciprocating machines, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. The table below lists representative Atlas Copco piston compressor series and examples of models within those series that typically utilize this lubricant. However, to guarantee the correct lubricant for your exact compressor unit, it is absolutely essential to consult your machine's technical documentation, operator's manual, or specific part lists. Lubricant requirements can vary based on the specific model variant, operating conditions, or even the ambient temperature in your region.
Compressor Series | Typical Application Models |
LE Series | LE 2-10, LE 15, LE 22 (Reciprocating Air Compressors) |
LT Series | LT 5, LT 7.5, LT 10, LT 15 (Heavy Duty Piston Compressors) |
LF Series | LF 2-10, LF 15, LF 22 (Oil-Free Piston Compressors, but some may use piston lubricant for other parts) |
AT & AB Series | Older industrial piston models (verify) |
Genuine 5L Piston Lubricant vs. Non-Genuine Alternatives
Choosing the Genuine Atlas Copco 5L Piston Lubricant (2901179100 / 1630204005) over non-genuine alternatives is a critical decision that profoundly impacts your piston compressor's performance, lifespan, and overall operational costs. Non-genuine lubricants may offer a lower initial price, but their hidden costs often outweigh any perceived savings through reduced efficiency, increased maintenance, and potential damage to expensive components.
Feature | Genuine Atlas Copco 5L Piston Lubricant | Non-Genuine Alternatives |
Viscosity Stability | Maintains optimal viscosity across temperature range | Fluctuates, leading to poor lubrication at extremes |
Oxidation Resistance | High resistance, minimizing sludge & acid formation | Poor resistance, leading to rapid degradation & deposits |
Anti-Wear Additives | Precisely balanced for maximum component protection | Insufficient or incorrect additives, causing accelerated wear |
Foaming Characteristics | Excellent anti-foaming properties, preventing air entrainment | Prone to foaming, reducing lubrication effectiveness |
Sludge & Varnish | Minimizes deposits, ensuring clean internal components | Forms sludge and varnish, clogging passages and filters |
Thermal Stability | Resists breakdown at high operating temperatures | Degrades prematurely, leading to increased oil changes |
Material Compatibility | Formulated to protect Atlas Copco specific materials | May react negatively with seals, hoses, or internal coatings |
Service Life | Engineered for specified extended drain intervals | Significantly shorter lifespan, requiring frequent changes |
Warranty Impact | Maintains equipment warranty (check terms) | Can void equipment warranty, no manufacturer support |
