Mobil Rarus™ 400 Series air compressor oils
Our Mobil Rarus™ 400 Series ashless air compressor oils are recommended for single and multistage air compressors operating under mild to severe conditions. They are formulated with high-quality mineral base oils and a high-performance additive system to provide exceptional equipment protection and reliability for compressors.
Mobil Rarus 400 Series air compressor oils offer a range of benefits* including:
- Cleaner compressors and lower deposits
- Longer running periods between maintenance intervals
- Improved valve performance while controlling sludge and deposit formation
- Enhanced equipment life and lower maintenance costs
*when compared to conventional mineral oils

Applications
The Mobil Rarus 400 Series oils are recommended for single and multistage air compressors. They are particularly effective for continuous high temperature operation. The maximum compressed air temperature, according to DIN 51506, is 220 °C. They are suitable for reciprocating and rotary type machines with the lower viscosity grades mainly used in rotary compressors. Rarus 400 Series oils are recommended for units with a history of excess oil degradation, poor valve performance or deposit formation. They are compatible with all metals used in compressor construction and with mineral-oil compatible elastomers used in seals, O-rings and gaskets.
Mobil Rarus 400 Series oils are not intended or recommended for use in air compressors for breathing applications.
The following types of compressors have shown excellent performance with the Mobil Rarus 400 Series oils:
- Reciprocating air compressor crankcases and cylinders
- Rotary screw compressors
- Rotary vane compressors
- Axial and centrifugal compressors
- Compressor systems with critical gears and bearings
- Compressors used in stationary and mobile applications
