Shell Corena S4 R 32 air compressor oil is a high-quality lubricant for sliding vane and screw rotary air compressors. It's a synthetic and ashless formula that extends the life of equipment and oil operating at high pressures and temperatures. This oil gives you improved system efficiency by reducing deposits, foaming and air bubbles, and protects internal parts against wear and corrosion. It's thinner at lower temperature and thicker at higher temperatures than conventional oils.

Long oil life Maintenance saving Shell Corena S3 R is capable of providing oil maintenance intervals of up to 6000 hours (where allowed by manufacturers) even when operating at maximum discharge temperatures of up to 100 C. It is formulated to help: Resist formation of carbon deposits in sliding vane slots in vane compressors Resist formation of deposits on rotating components in screw compressors Resist thermal breakdown and deposit formation to maintain excellent internal surface cleanliness particularly in oil/air separator and coalescer systems. Exact oil maintenance interval will depend on intake air quality, duty cycle and ambient conditions. For hot and humid type climates as found in the Asian and Pacific regions, a reduced oil drain period is recommended (consult OEM recommendations) Outstanding wear protection: With many years of successful application, Shell Corena S3 R helps provide effective protection of internal metal surfaces from corrosion and wear. It contains an advanced ashless anti-wear system to help prolong the life of critical parts such as bearings and gears. Maintaining system efficiency: Air release and prevention of foaming are critical performance characteristics in a compressor oil, ensuring reliable start-up and continuous compressed air availability. Shell Corena S3 R is designed to provide rapid air release without excessive foaming to give trouble-free operation even under cycling conditions. In addition, Shell Corena S3 R has excellent water separation properties to help ensure continuous efficient operation of the compressor even in the presence of water.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

  • This oil is formulated for rotary sliding vane and rotary screw air compressors running in oil-flooded or oil-injected configurations. For vane compressors, it is suitable at pressures up to 10 bar with air discharge temperatures up to 100°C. For single or two-stage screw compressors, it handles pressures up to 20 bar and discharge temperatures up to 100°C.

  • Oil maintenance intervals of up to 6,000 hours are achievable where permitted by the compressor manufacturer, even at maximum discharge temperatures up to 100°C. The actual interval depends on intake air quality, duty cycle, and ambient conditions — in hot and humid climates such as those found in Asian and Pacific regions, a shorter drain interval is recommended, so consulting your OEM guidelines is advised.

  • The synthetic base provides better viscosity behavior than conventional oils — it is thinner at lower temperatures for easier start-up and thicker at higher temperatures for better protection under load. The ashless formula means it contains no metallic ash-forming additives, which helps resist deposit formation in oil/air separators and coalescer systems and keeps internal surfaces clean.

  • It uses an advanced ashless anti-wear system to help protect critical components such as bearings and gears, while also resisting carbon deposit formation in sliding vane slots and on rotating screw components. It additionally guards internal metal surfaces against corrosion.

  • This oil is designed for rapid air release and to prevent excessive foaming, both of which are critical for reliable start-up and uninterrupted compressed air delivery. Its excellent water separation properties further support continuous efficient compressor operation even in the presence of water.

  • This oil meets the ISO 6743-3A-DAJ specification. For a full listing of equipment approvals and OEM recommendations, Shell advises consulting your local Shell Technical Helpdesk or the OEM Approvals website, as compatibility can vary by manufacturer and application.
