York Refrigeration Oil E (18.9L Can)
York Oil Type E is a genuine mineral refrigeration lubricant with a viscosity of 150 SUS at 100°F (ISO 32 equivalent), formulated for York reciprocating compressors, chiller systems, and industrial refrigeration applications running halocarbon refrigerants. Supplied in a 5 gallon (18.9 litre) pail. The lighter viscosity grade in the York mineral oil family, ideal where lower viscosity is specified by the compressor manufacturer.
Key Features
- Genuine York PureOil Type E: 150 SUS / ISO 32 mineral lubricant manufactured to York specification for halocarbon compressor applications, approved within the York oil application matrix for compatible reciprocating compressors and chiller platforms.
- ISO 32 Light-Viscosity Performance: Lighter viscosity profile supports clean oil circulation, lower internal friction losses, and predictable oil return at low evaporator temperatures in commercial refrigeration service.
- Wax-Free, High Flash Point Formulation: Resists waxing-out in cold heat exchanger sections to prevent oil starvation, with high thermal stability and low moisture content for reliable refrigeration performance straight from the sealed pail.
- Imported From: Directly imported from USA, sourced through Trane’s authorised supply chain for verified authenticity and full traceability.
- Oil Shelf Life: 5 years from the date of production, allowing contractors and facility teams to stock confidently without moisture pickup or oil degradation.
Why Viscosity Grade is the Detail That Matters
Refrigeration oils all look the same until they go into the wrong compressor. Viscosity grade is one of the most underestimated specifications in compressor lubricant selection. York Oil Type E is a 150 SUS / ISO 32 mineral oil, which is a different lubricant from the heavier 300 SUS / ISO 68 grades in the York family. Using an ISO 32 oil where ISO 68 is required, or vice versa, changes oil film thickness at the bearings, alters oil pump pressure, and shifts the energy balance inside the compressor. The York oil application matrix exists precisely to remove that uncertainty, and Oil E is the correct call-out for compressors that specify the ISO 32 grade.
Where York Oil E Fits
In York equipment, lighter mineral oil grades are typically specified for compressor families and operating conditions where the lower viscosity supports correct lubrication and oil return. Always confirm against the compressor nameplate and the York oil application document for your unit. Field experience with York reciprocating and chiller compressors shows that mineral oils in this viscosity class behave well at moderate evaporator temperatures and across the typical halocarbon refrigerants they were designed around.
Operational Realities in Saudi Conditions
In Saudi cooling plants, particularly those running long compressor cycles through 50°C ambient summer days, oil sump temperatures climb. A correctly specified oil with consistent flash point and stable viscosity profile under heat is what protects bearings during those cycles. York PureOil Type E is engineered to that standard. Cheap or counterfeit oils may carry the same viscosity number on the label but fail under heat and load. The genuine York oil is the one that has been validated against this duty.
Service Practice
Oil changes on York compressors using Type E are typically driven by oil sample analysis. Acid number, water content, viscosity drift, and wear metal levels are the four readings that govern the decision. When the analysis indicates the charge is no longer fit for service, drain the system, replace the oil filter, refill with sealed genuine York Type E, and run the system long enough to establish a new baseline before sampling again.
Storage and Cross-Contamination Discipline
Mineral oils are less hygroscopic than POE oils but they still benefit from clean, sealed storage. Pails should be kept indoors, sealed, and away from heat. Dispensing equipment should be clean and ideally dedicated to mineral oil applications, not shared with POE service equipment. This discipline is what separates a professional refrigeration shop from one that fights repeated compressor failures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the shelf life of York Refrigeration Oil E?
York Refrigeration Oil E has a shelf life of 5 years from the date of production when stored properly in sealed containers and recommended storage conditions.
Q2: Where is York Refrigeration Oil E imported from?
York Refrigeration Oil E is directly imported from the USA.
Q3: How is Oil E different from York Oil C?
Oil E is a lighter mineral refrigeration oil with a viscosity rating of 150 SUS / ISO 32, while York Oil C is a heavier viscosity mineral oil. These lubricants are not directly interchangeable. Always use the oil grade specified in the York oil application guide for the exact compressor model.
Q4: Can Oil E be used in HFC R-134a systems?
Most York HFC R-134a systems require POE lubricants rather than mineral oils. Oil E is intended for compatible halocarbon refrigerant systems where the York oil application matrix specifically calls for a mineral oil of this viscosity grade. Always confirm the correct oil specification before use.
Q5: Does Oil E carry an additive package?
York PureOil is engineered without unnecessary additives. The formulation is designed as a clean and controlled mineral refrigeration oil that delivers predictable lubrication performance and stable compressor operation over extended service intervals.
