I currently have a commercial account out in El Paso that is running the PCI. I wish I would have gotten a copy of the used analysis when I was there.

They were using Gardner Denver Aeon 9000@ $1700+ per barrel. They were changing it out every 4-6 months. The stuff is designed for 8,000 hours. So we started an analysis program and extneded their current product. Then I quoted them a price for the Amsoil PCI@ $700 a barrel.

They have 4 100hp G-D rotary screw compressors.

I really had a good time working with those Heavy Duty commercial accounts. It's nice when you can save a company 60% on what they are using and get a better product to boot!

Recall that this fluid has an ALL di-ester base, whereas the current Amsoil PC fluids are predominately PAO based with some esters.

I don't even know if this fluid had a customer spec sheet at the time. Haven't found the product code either.

I do recall Dave saying it had a -78 F pour point.

AMSOIL makes a diester based compressor oil in their industrial line.

Which CP fluids, the Sirocco fluids?
