Shell Gas Compressor Oil S1 P•• RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
HYDROCARBON GAS
Gas Compressor Oil APPLICATIONS

Shell Gas Compressor Oil S1 P provides reliable performance for

cylinder lubrication of reciprocating compressors handling hydrocarbon gas at high
pressure. They are compounded with polar or fatty oils which enable the lubricant to
resist being washed off cylinder walls by the action of wet air or gas. Shell Gas
Compressor Oil S1 P also resist the solvent action of hydrocarbon gases such as
propane and butane, as well as certain organic chemicals such as ketones and
aldehydes.

These oils should not be used to
lubricate the running gear or
crankcases of compressors as the fatty
oil can separate from the lubricant,
Shell Gas Compressor Oil S1 P may be
used with most common seal and
packing materials.
Protect the Environment
Take used oil to an authorized
collection point. Do not discharge
into drains, soil or water.
