Oil is the Life Blood of Your System
Although most systems use a mineral-based oil, keeping your oil clean and free of contaminants is the best way to ensure the health of your compressor. We also see a grave importance in testing your oil on a regular basis as in relation to your refrigeration systems, the oil is the life blood. A filter can remove particles above a certain size but may not remove dissolved metals and acids that could damage your compressor.
Oil analysis is one of the least expensive ways to make sure your compressor is in good operating condition. You may have performed routine vibration analysis and changed your filters, but this is not enough to safeguard your compressor against premature failure. Taking oil samples for analysis is very important. Ask us how we can assist you with this very important maintenance task.

Oil is one of the most critical components of any refrigeration system. Using an improper oil type can cause excessive foaming, oil carryover, sludge formation and poor cooling which will lead to high overhaul costs, high risks of equipment breakdowns, shorter lifecycle and loss of efficiency. Frick carefully selected and matched its refrigeration oil types with the Frick compressor models to ensure uninterrupted operation under the most stringent conditions.
Frick oils have been tested for all refrigeration applications and are produced to meet the highest quality standards. When Frick oil is used, Frick will stand behind its products with warranties and technical support.
We are pleased to announce an introduction of a new oil brand, Frick PureOil™. New Frick oil will be shipped in new containers including new logos and labels. Nothing has changed in the formulation in any of our oils. What is changing: oil is shipping now in black containers (previously blue) with new labels.
Although the Frick PureOil™ brand is being offered without any impact on pricing, part numbers or the product itself. ColonialWebb saw a need to provide a more competitive option on pricing for customers with units no longer under the Frick Equipment warranty period. We offer a comparable oil at a discounted price in our parts department here in Norfolk, VA.
Through industry-leading expertise and proprietary blending techniques, these lubricants have the highest quality for virtually every industrial application.
