introduction of Cetus® EliteSyn MGX 46 and 68 compressor oils

We are pleased to introduce Cetus® EliteSyn MGX with VARTECH™ Technology, a range of high-performance synthetic compressor lubricants, blended with high quality polyalphaolefin (PAO) base fluid and an advanced additive system designed for improved performance and longer oil life.

Cetus EliteSyn MGX can offer oil maintenance intervals exceeding 8000 hours for rotary air compressors and can be applied in both portable and stationary rotary, vane and screw compressor types. 

Cetus EliteSyn MGX is engineered to help minimise varnish formation, maintain operational reliability with effective oxidation and thermal stability, and protect against rust and corrosion, even under severe conditions. It helps keep components like the compressor, air lines, and compressed air bottles clean, ensuring safe and reliable performance. 
 
Cetus EliteSyn MGX oils feature a high viscosity index, improved thermal and mechanical efficiency and higher thermal and hydrolytic stability, to save on maintenance and lubrication costs through longer oil drain intervals. 
 
Cetus EliteSyn MGX is recommended for:

• Single- and multi-stage centrifugal compressors, and oil flooded screw compressors including stationary, semi-portable and portable units 
• Air, compressed natural gas (CNG), landfill gas and inert gas 
• Lubrication of turbochargers in marine diesel engines

However, this lubricant is not recommended for breathing air compressors. 

Cetus EliteSyn MGX is compatible with nitrile, silicone, polyurethane and fluoropolymer seal materials typically used in compressor units. It is not compatible with butadiene styrene (SBR) or ethylene propylene (EPDM) seals. 
 
The following existing products have been discontinued.

Cetus PAO and Cetus EliteSyn MGX are miscible in any ratio and fully compatible. Top-up of in-service Cetus PAO with Cetus EliteSyn MGX is possible provided that the in-service product remains in good condition.
