Royal Purple Synfilm 100 Synthetic Reciprocating Air Compressor Oil | 1 Quart (01513)
Royal Purple Synfilm 100 Synthetic Reciprocating Air Compressor Oil | 1 Quart
Royal Purple Synfilm 100 is a premium full-synthetic reciprocating air compressor oil engineered to provide superior lubrication, extended drain intervals, and reduced wear in reciprocating (piston-type) air compressors. Synfilm 100 is formulated with Royal Purple's proprietary Synerlec additive technology — a high-film-strength lubricant additive that provides superior metal protection under the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions generated inside a reciprocating air compressor. Royal Purple is one of the most respected synthetic lubricant brands in the North American market — known for their high-performance engine oils, gear oils, and specialty lubricants for automotive, industrial, and commercial applications.
Key Features:
- Full synthetic formulation — full-synthetic base oil provides superior lubrication performance compared to conventional mineral-based compressor oils — better viscosity stability across a wide temperature range, superior oxidation resistance, and longer service life
- ISO 100 viscosity grade — ISO 100 viscosity — correct for a wide range of reciprocating air compressors that specify an ISO 100 compressor oil — verify your compressor manufacturer's viscosity specification before ordering
- Reciprocating compressor specific — formulated specifically for reciprocating (piston-type) air compressors — the correct oil type for piston compressors used in automotive shops, garages, and industrial applications
- Royal Purple Synerlec technology — Royal Purple's proprietary Synerlec additive technology provides a high-strength lubricant film that protects compressor internals under the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions of reciprocating compressor operation
- Extended drain intervals — the full-synthetic formulation's superior oxidation resistance and thermal stability allow for extended oil change intervals compared to conventional mineral-based compressor oils — reducing maintenance frequency and downtime
- Reduced wear — superior lubrication film strength reduces metal-to-metal contact between compressor pistons, cylinders, and valve components — extending compressor service life
- Reduced carbon and varnish deposits — the synthetic formulation's superior oxidation resistance reduces the formation of carbon and varnish deposits on compressor valves and internal surfaces — maintaining compressor efficiency and extending service life
- Royal Purple quality — manufactured by Royal Purple, one of the most respected synthetic lubricant brands in the North American market
Reciprocating vs. Rotary Compressor Oil — Important:
Synfilm 100 is formulated for reciprocating (piston-type) air compressors — not rotary screw or rotary vane compressors. Reciprocating and rotary compressors have different lubrication requirements — using the wrong oil type can cause premature wear, deposit formation, and compressor damage. Verify that your compressor is a reciprocating (piston) type before ordering. For rotary screw or rotary vane compressors, Royal Purple offers separate compressor oil formulations.
ISO 100 Viscosity — Verify Your Specification:
Synfilm 100 is an ISO 100 viscosity grade compressor oil. Most reciprocating air compressors specify either ISO 100 or ISO 150 compressor oil — verify your compressor manufacturer's viscosity specification in the owner's manual before ordering. Using the incorrect viscosity grade can affect compressor performance and service life.
Specifications:
- Brand: Royal Purple
- Part Number / SKU: 01513
- Product: Synfilm 100
- Type: Full synthetic reciprocating air compressor oil

Application Notes:
- Correct for reciprocating (piston-type) air compressors specifying an ISO 100 compressor oil
- Not for use in rotary screw or rotary vane compressors — verify compressor type before ordering
- Verify your compressor manufacturer's viscosity specification (ISO 100 vs. ISO 150) before ordering
- Follow your compressor manufacturer's oil change interval recommendations — the synthetic formulation may allow extended intervals, but always follow the manufacturer's minimum requirements
- Drain and replace compressor oil when it becomes dark, contaminated, or at the manufacturer's specified interval — do not mix with conventional mineral-based compressor oils
Why Royal Purple?
Royal Purple is one of the most respected synthetic lubricant brands in the North American market — known for their high-performance engine oils, gear oils, and specialty lubricants for automotive, industrial, and commercial applications. Royal Purple's Synerlec additive technology is the foundation of their lubricant performance advantage — a high-film-strength additive that provides superior metal protection under demanding operating conditions. For shop owners and enthusiasts who want a premium full-synthetic compressor oil from a trusted lubricant brand, Royal Purple Synfilm 100 is the correct choice.
Perfect For:
- Automotive shop and garage reciprocating air compressors specifying an ISO 100 compressor oil — a premium full-synthetic upgrade over conventional mineral-based compressor oils for extended drain intervals, reduced wear, and reduced deposit formation
- Performance and enthusiast garages where Royal Purple's synthetic lubricant quality is the standard across engine oils, gear oils, and specialty lubricants — extending that standard to the shop's air compressor
- Compressor maintenance and oil changes where a quality full-synthetic ISO 100 compressor oil is required
Note: For reciprocating (piston-type) compressors only — not for rotary screw or rotary vane compressors. Verify ISO 100 viscosity specification with your compressor manufacturer before ordering. Do not mix with conventional mineral-based compressor oils. Follow manufacturer's oil change interval recommendations.
