Bedrock SAE 30
Non-Detergent Motor Oil
SAE 30 non-detergent motor oil for equipment whose maker calls for an ND oil
Bedrock SAE 30 Non-Detergent Motor Oil is a straight-grade oil without the detergent additives that heavy-duty engine oils carry. That is the point of a non-detergent oil: instead of holding dirt and wear particles in suspension, it lets them settle in the sump, where they stay out of the working parts until the oil is changed. Equipment makers specify an ND oil where that behavior is wanted, and it is not interchangeable with a heavy-duty engine oil.
The usual home for an ND SAE 30 is the reciprocating air compressor. Compressor makers call for a non-detergent oil because a detergent oil can hold moisture and carbon in suspension and carry them through the pump; an ND oil lets that material settle in the crankcase instead. Older small engines, some gear cases and oiling points on equipment also carry an ND SAE 30 call-out. Follow the equipment manual: it names the oil type for a reason.
Bedrock SAE 30 ND is the one product in the Bedrock engine oil family that is not a heavy-duty diesel oil, and it should never go into a truck engine. Trucks, pickups and diesel equipment take Bedrock 15W-40 or one of the other multigrades. The SAE 30 ND is for the compressor and the small equipment that call for it, in the shop or on the farm. It comes in the 5-gallon pail.

Applications
- Reciprocating (piston) air compressors in shops and on service trucks whose maker calls for a non-detergent SAE 30
- Older small engines on pumps, generators and yard equipment whose manual specifies a non-detergent oil
- Gear cases, chain drives and oil-bath components on farm and construction equipment that call for an ND SAE 30
- Oiling points on equipment whose manual calls for an SAE 30 non-detergent oil
- Equipment that is stored or used seasonally, where the maker specifies a straight-grade non-detergent oil
- Any application where the equipment manual reads non-detergent SAE 30, and no application where it reads heavy-duty engine oil
Performance
- Lets dirt, moisture and wear particles settle in the crankcase or sump instead of carrying them through the working parts
- Holds a stable oil film on compressor pistons, rings and bearings at operating temperature
- Resists oxidation and thickening through long compressor duty cycles
- Formulated for use where the equipment maker specifies a non-detergent SAE 30 motor oil

Frequently asked questions
What does non-detergent mean, and why does my compressor manual ask for it?
A non-detergent oil has none of the detergent additives that heavy-duty engine oils use to hold soot and dirt in suspension. In a reciprocating compressor, that lets moisture and carbon settle in the crankcase instead of traveling through the pump, which is why many compressor makers specify it. Check your manual, because rotary screw compressors usually call for a different fluid.
Can I put Bedrock SAE 30 ND in my truck or pickup engine?
No. Truck and pickup engines need a detergent engine oil that keeps soot and combustion by-products in suspension. In diesel trucks, pickups and equipment, use Bedrock 15W-40 or another Bedrock multigrade where the engine maker calls for that grade, and keep the SAE 30 ND for the equipment that calls for it.
Is SAE 30 ND the same as the SAE 30 sold for small engines?
Not always. Many small-engine SAE 30 oils are detergent oils built to a current service category, and newer small engines call for those. Bedrock SAE 30 ND is the non-detergent type. Match the oil to the word the equipment manual uses: detergent or non-detergent.
