Hi, here is information for your question.

"2. Standard supply condition
All compressors manufactured by Frascold are charged with
POE lubricant as follows:
• Reciprocating compressors series A, B, C, D, F, Q, and S
lubricant POE, viscosity 32 cSt.
• Reciprocating compressors series V, Z, W
lubricant POE, viscosity 68 cSt.
• Double stage reciprocating compressors of all series

"11. Equivalent oils
POE oils of Frascold FC line can be replaced by most famous brands of
oil produced by the most important petrochemical producers.
A selection is hereby shown, although there may be more from other
manufacturers:
FRASCOLD FC32 is equivalent to:
• Uniqema EMKARATE RL32H
• Total Planetelf ACD32
• Mobil EAL Arctic 32
• Castrol Icematic SW32
FRASCOLD FC68 is equivalent to:
• Uniqema EMKARATE RL68H
• Total Planetelf ACD68
• Mobil EAL Arctic 68
• Castrol Icematic SW68
FRASCOLD FC170 is equivalent to:
• Uniqema EMKARATE RL170H
• Total Planetelf ACD150 (*)
• Mobil EAL Arctic 150 (*)
• Castrol Icematic SW170
(*) not recommended for heavy duty applications
It is generally possible to top up the oil, with the same grade of
viscosity, though produced by different petrochemical groups. Frascold
nevertheless reccommends to completely drain the oil, whenever it is
impossible to top it up with the same brand. This is intended to prevent
the formation of chemical compounds which may originate foams,
sludge, lacques, etc.
Frascold can’t be held responsible for malfunctions or faults originated
by mixing of different or not approved brands of oils. Contact us for
more information."
