Compressor Oil

Post by jdubner »

When I bought my hangar, the previous owner left me an ancient Kellogg-American multistage air compressor. I'd like to change its oil but don't have a clue what was recommended in 1957 (when it was built) or now for that matter. My thought is to use inexpensive automotive 30W non-detergent oil but what do I know?

Anyone knowledgeable in compressor oil care to make a recommendation?
