PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic RC Series R&O/AW Gear and Bearing Oils are formulated with
high-quality synthetic base stocks and additive systems that effectively reduce
wear and protect equipment by maintaining viscosity, resisting thermal and
oxidative breakdown, inhibiting rust and resisting the degrading effects of
water.
Viscosity Characteristics
AMSOIL RC Series Oils are very shear-stable and oxidation-resistant, preventing
viscosity loss from mechanical shear and viscosity increase from oxidation. RC
Series Oils remain fluid at cold temperatures, providing easier startups, quick
lubrication circulation and limiting the need for sump heaters. At higher
temperatures, RC Series Oils maintain a thick lubricating film, reducing
metal-to-metal contact and component wear.
Additive Performance
AMSOIL RC Series Oils are formulated with complete additive technology to
enhance performance. Nondetergent, ashless antiwear additives provide an
additional layer of protection against wear in severe conditions, rust
inhibitors protect critical components against corrosion in the presence of
water or process contaminants, antioxidants increase oxidation resistance and
extend lubricant life and foam suppressants prevent foaming and air entrapment.
Water Resistant
RC Series Oils provide hydrolytic stability (stability in the presence of water)
and demulsibility (ability to separate from water), increasing lubricant life,
preventing oil/water emulsions and allowing reservoirs to be drained of water.
Performance Features
• Extended oil drain intervals and equipment
life
• Yellow metals compatible
• Resitant to high-temperature oxidation
• Formulated with anti-wear, anti-rust and anti-foam additives
• Excellent cold-temperature performance
• Readily separate from water
Application Recommendation
AMSOIL Synthetic RC Series Oils are primarily recommended for gear and bearing
applications and circulating systems requiring R&O and/or antiwear additive
technology.
RCE is a clear, nonstaining oil with an ISO-10
viscosity designed for high-speed spindles such as those found in textile
applications.
The lighter viscosity RC Series Oils (RCF-RCH)
provide superior protection in high- and low-pressure gear, vane and piston
hydraulic systems, compressors, high-speed bearings, small gear sets, pumps,
high-speed spindles, high-speed gears and many other industrial applications.
Higher viscosity RC Series Oils, beginning with RCI (ISO 46), meet AGMA
specifications for R&O and Synthetic gear oil specifications 1 through 8,
respectively, for the lubrication of intermediate-speed equipment where mild
shock loading and intermittent service are involved. These applications include
machine tools, roller chains, gear reducers, cone drives, large motor bearings,
medium-speed ball and roller bearings, blowers and worm gear sets.
Consult the manufacturer for proper viscosity recommendations. The ability of RC
Series Oils to extend drain intervals is subject to operating conditions and
maintenance practices and should be monitored by oil analysis.
Although AMSOIL lubricants are compatible with
mineral oil-based lubricants, for optimum performance it is recommended that the
system be thoroughly drained and cleaned, if warranted.
Note: AMSOIL RC Series Oils are not designed for
applications requiring Extreme Pressure (EP) agents. For EP fortified
lubricants, refer to
AMSOIL
SG Series Gear Oils.

AMSOIL PRODUCT WARRANTY
AMSOIL industrial lubricants are formulated to meet or exceed accepted industry
specifications. AMSOIL warrants that the use of its lubricants will not cause
mechanical damage to any mechanically sound equipment when AMSOIL products are
used in full compliance with the company’s recommendations. However, the
purchaser of these lubricants is responsible for determining if these
specifications are adequate and proper for the intended application. The AMSOIL
warranty is limited to lubricant performance consistent with indicated
specifications. No additional warranty, expressed or implied, can be made.
AMSOIL PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
AMSOIL products are available in 5-gallon pails, 55- gallon drums, 275-gallon
totes and bulk quantities. For 275- gallon totes, please allow two to four weeks
for delivery. AMSOIL Industrial Lubricants are stocked in Superior, Wisconsin
and in select regional distribution centers throughout the United States and
Canada. AMSOIL will stock additional quantities of lubricants or special order
products based on customer requests and regional demands.
