Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kaeser M460-001?

The M460-001 is a one-gallon OEM-equivalent replacement for Kaeser SIGMA M-460 compressor lubricant.

Compatibility should always be confirmed by checking your manual and verifying the model, serial number, required lubricant specification, and existing oil type before ordering. Not sure? Reach out with your compressor model and serial number and we’ll help confirm compatibility. 

Is Kaeser M-460 a fully synthetic oil?

No. Kaeser SIGMA M-460 is generally classified as a partial synthetic or semi-synthetic compressor lubricant, not a fully synthetic fluid.

If a fully synthetic Kaeser lubricant is required, verify the lubricant specified for the exact compressor before ordering.

What does the M-460 lubricant do inside the compressor?

The compressor oil performs several important functions, including:

  • Lubricating the airend
  • Removing heat from the compression process
  • Sealing internal clearances
  • Lubricating bearings
  • Helping protect against corrosion
  • Carrying contaminants to the oil filter
  • Supporting proper air/oil separation

How often should the M-460 oil be changed?

4,000 operating hours

Rotary screw compressor lubricant life varies depending on:

  • Lubricant formulation
  • Operating temperature
  • Compressor model
  • Duty cycle
  • Ambient environment
  • Oil analysis

Follow the service interval supplied with the lubricant and the compressor maintenance schedule.

Can I mix M-460 with another lubricant?

Mixing different lubricants should generally be avoided.

Different oils can vary in:

  • Base stock
  • Additive chemistry
  • Viscosity
  • Oxidation resistance
  • Seal compatibility
  • Water-separation performance

If changing lubricant types, follow an approved changeover procedure.

What are the signs that M-460 oil needs to be changed?

Possible signs include:

  • Oil has reached its scheduled service interval
  • Oil appears heavily darkened or oxidized
  • Varnish or sludge forms
  • Compressor runs hotter than normal
  • Oil analysis indicates degradation
  • Excessive contamination is present
  • Oil has been exposed to abnormal overheating

Follow the service schedule for the exact compressor.
