Kluber Lubrication Summit SH-68 Compressor Lubricant Equivalent - 55 Gallon

Kluber Summit SH-68 Replacement Oil

Alpha Syn 68 ISO 68 Synthetic Air Compressor Oil is a fully synthetic hydrocarbon ISO 68 air compressor oil designed as a replacement for Kluber Summit SH-68. It is engineered for rotary screw and rotary vane compressors operating under elevated load and temperature conditions. Supplied in a 55-gallon drum, this high-performance synthetic compressor lubricant is designed for high-volume industrial facilities seeking reliable bulk lubricant supply and operational continuity.

Formulated as a premium alternative to Kluber Summit SH-68, Alpha Syn 68 delivers up to 8,000 hours of service life at temperatures up to 200°F, supporting extended maintenance intervals and reduced downtime in continuous-duty production environments.

Industrial-Grade ISO 68 Synthetic Compressor Oil

Manufactured using advanced synthetic hydrocarbon (SH) base oils, this ISO 68 synthetic air compressor lubricant provides superior oxidation stability, strong anti-wear protection, and excellent water separation. Its robust additive system helps minimize varnish formation and maintain consistent lubrication under demanding industrial conditions.

ISO 68 viscosity is commonly specified for compressors operating at higher pressures or elevated ambient temperatures where enhanced film strength is required.

The 55-gallon drum configuration is ideal for facilities implementing bulk lubricant management programs, centralized oil distribution systems, or preventative maintenance strategies across multiple compressor assets.
