- Опубликовано: 3 дек 2024
- Not sure what type of oil your compressor pump uses? The right type of oil can extend the life of your air compressor unit greatly. This will show you the varieties of synthetic and standard compressor oils we offer. All compressor oils are NON-detergent! Click on the link below to purchase the right type oil for your unit. aircompressorp...
Regular SAE 30 weight, non-detergent, single viscosity oil is fine to use in most air compressor and power washer pumps. It's inexpensive and most hardware stores will carry it. Change it regularly to extend pump life.
I would definitely go with a synthetic type oil especially if it's operated in very cold temps. I had purchased a small 26 gallon vertical single stage portable compressor and lately I have had issues tripping the circuit breaker because it's been so cold the last few days and the compressor is located inside but in an unheated area. The oil gets so thick inside that it puts a huge strain on the motor to turn it and it draws a lot more amps for it to run. I was able to drain the old oil out and replace it with Powermate synthetic air compressor oil that I had on hand which was a lot thinner than the thick goop that I had just drained out.
I use non-detergent mineral oil. No problems.
I have a contractor compressor. It’s an old Subaru but a phenomenal rig. I’m wondering what you would recommend being it’s older? When used it will be pumping for hours spraying texture.
I’m using the Royal Purple reciprocating compressor oil. Definitely synthetic is the way to go.
at last. a vid where the information flows from the start.. well done! i had to stop reading the comments/questions though.. after you shared your knowledge, still those s****d question! I must say yoiu are one of the most patient guys i have ever come across...
My compressor temps dropped a lot when I tried Amsoil, but if you shy away from Amsoil there’s probably other synthetics out there that are similar.
Carbon build up :) ? Awesome video
Hi. We have a older sanborn coleman 3hp air compresor. Wish oil you recomend we live in Florida
Thanks
thank you much. I need new oil, as the 40 gallon, tank compressor needed new casters, and I had to turn it over and the oil ran out.
How great is the compressor well?
I’m also in minnesota and it sucks to start in the winter.
So what you are saying is not to 5w-30 or other car engine oils.
Do you have experience with Amsoil for whether tests are good.
There normally a premium oil.
Only once had thay had bad tests on transmission oil. So I'm told.
Great video indeed, thanks!
I've been using corn 🌽 oil for over 50 years and it's always been the most efficient
Yeay! A contemporary video!
I have a 5HP 20gal Air America compressor, how much oil do I need. I try to search online but unsuccessful but I’m glad I found your video. I did find on the serial plate that I need 20W.
A straight 20w or 30w NON-detergent oil is recommended, correct. As for the amount I'm not sure, as I would need a model number to try and research that. If it doesn't have a dipstick or oil sight glass, I'd try to contact Air America and ask one of their reps how much oil it takes. Thank you for the question!
I have a compressor pump that calls for 10w40 detergent motor oil in the manual. Should I stick with the recommendation or switch to a quality compressor oil?
I would use 0w-20 Mobil 1 and forget about it for the rest of your life.
I think if I run non synthetic oil, my compressor says to use that. But on synthetic, it says to use 5W-50. I can't find it. I use 5W-40 European motor oil or motorcycle oil.
I have an old electric dual voltage 110/220v Emglo wheelbarrow style 2HP compressor with a single 20 Gal tank. Blue color. The old oil qt jug says Emglo N-100 on the label. Since Emglo was bought out several years ago (DeWalt?) what type oil do you recommend now? I’m in Santa Rosa-Calif. Thank you. Rick W.
Can I use ATF oil for air compressor?
Nope ATF is too thin (nominal ISO 32,) not monograde, and contains a detergent/dispersant package that can turn your crankcase into a strawberry milkshake, you generally want a monograde non-detergent anti-wear oil in a compressor either oil sold as compressor oil, non-detergent motor oil that is rated API SB, or ISo 68 or ISO 100 anti-wear hydraulic fluid.
Thank you so much sir@@brandonupchurch7628
I have a QMT25 screw compressor. Quincy recommends Quin-syn. At nearly $500 per 5 gals there must be a affordable oil. Some locale sand blading guys tell me they use ATF in there screws.
I'm not sure what the exact specs of the QuinSyn oil is as it's their proprietary compressor oil, but you can see some of the specs for this oil on their website below:
www.quincycompressor.com/quincy-compressor-fluids/
I'm sure you could use a synthetic rotary screw lubricant that isn't QuinSyn...of course they'd like you to use their oil ;-)
Thank you, your vid is very informative. I got a couple of old compressors which will need maintanance and probably some might have motor oil in them. This is very helpful. Thank you.
Carbon does not build up in an oiled air compressor as there is no "POWER" cycle in an oiled air compressor. In order for carbon to be present combustion needs to take place. Oiled air compressors, like oil-free air compressors only job is to compress air.
Thank you for this video. This trigger my question please. what is the quantity of oil expected in car compressor DOLPHI R-134a? Thank you
That's a good question Abubakar, and one I cannot answer I'm afraid. Typically, the oil reservoir will have a sight glass with a dot in the center to gauge accurate oil level. You want to fill the oil so that it is halfway up the sight glass, right at the dot. It may have an oil dipstick instead. But, I can't find much information on the DOLPHI R-134a so I can't be sure. Thank you for the question!
The R-134a makes me think you are refering to an air conditioner compressor. If that is the case, an automotive parts supplier should be able to help you.
Ive had to empty the oil from my Wolf dakota compressor today. The oil that was supplied with it had congealed due to the cold weather. Had to clean out the whole system because the oil had clogged everything. I noticed that there was quite a bit of rust flakes that came out of the tank which suggests it is corroding from the inside out. What can i do to prevent this?
1. Well, by removing the check valve and pouring in a small bit of straight 30 weight non-detergent oil, it "may" coat the rust area, but due to condensation, this is the nature or air being compressed. It is hard to remove existing rust in your tank.
2 . Make sure that the pump air filter is clean so as to allow all the possible air into the pump, so the pump does not work so hard which can cause heat build up.
3. Install an auto drain on the tank, (if the unit is a stationary unit)
4. Drain the moisture from the tank daily. (if used daily)
Thanks for the advice.
Great video. You will get a million different answers on forums. Thanks for the info.
Great video....I have a Sears 3 HP, 20 gallon tank compressor model #919.178430 . What oil do you recommend?
Thanks
very helpful
Is compressor pump oil and pressure washer oil the same thing and can either be used in either pump??
Thank you for the question! Pressure washer oil is different than compressor oil so you won't want to use one in the other.
Compressor oil is non-detergent and is a straight viscosity oil (most are, anyway). There are some additives in compressor oil but these are different than what you'll find in pressure washer oil or motor oil.
good video but what is the difference between ISO 100 and ISO 68?
Thank you and thanks for the comment! ISO 100 is also known as 30 weight oil, and ISO 68 is 20 weight oil.
Please be my answer to my prayers (lol),
Hello there, its been a month that I've been trying to figure out about how much oil do I need to charge to my compressor. It doesn't have a window glass or dip stick. The sticker plate attach to it only tells what kind of oil (POE) it requires but it doesn't tell the amount needed.
I no longer have the manual and i searched the internet about it and find no luck.
Hope you can help me with this. Btw, the compressor I have is a TM19R (topre) and DKP-19 (valeo)
Thanks and more power.!
I wish I could answer that question, to be honest! This is an automotive refrigeration compressor which is what we don't specialize in. I've found the compressor on the Web at the below link, but can't find the oil quantity specification. I would email them (they have an inquiry link on the below page) to find this information.
www.autoair.co.nz/shop/Shop+by+Product+-+Retail+prices/AC+COMPRESSOR/TAMA/COMP+VALEO+DKP19+1B+24V+TM19.html
I'm sorry I can't be of much help but thank you for commenting!
no problem sir, your answer is very much appreciated.
btw, i was able to ask some seniors about it and they advise me that usually when a motor doesnt have a dip stick or a view glass, the safest amount to assume is that the oil level must be just near below the oil plug.
anyways, i just hope that their ancient wisdom will do the trick. (lol)
and one more thing, its very kind of you to share your knowledge here in youtube.
cheers.!
Thank you very much for the compliment! Sometimes the best thing to do is ask an elder. Good luck!
I can't find any info for oil in an old Campbell Hausfeld Power Pal portable compressor model number is MT300002 and the company website doesn't list it? There is no sight glass to see the oil level so I'm going to drain what is in there and measure what comes out so I can will have somewhat of an idea. Is it alright to use full synthetic or be safe and go with a blend? Please help with these questions if you can. Thanks much!
A Hitachi nail gun compressor says to use 5W-50 synthetic oil in it, if you wanna go synthetic. I cannot find such an animal. Is this a typo or range? I use 5W-40 euro synthetic motor oil in it. Had it 4 years. No issues yet except for replaced the gage hose & bolt fell out of the base from vibration. Metabo took over. I downloaded the PDF manual & it clearly says that weight. That's odd.
Thanks for the question! For warranty purposes you do want to use the oil the manufacturer suggests, if you can. Otherwise, a straight 30W synthetic or synthetic blend will work very well for any reciprocating compressor pump.
I know that Mobile makes a 5W-50, and you can find 5W-50 on Amazon:
www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-personal-vehicles/our-products/motor-oils/mobil-5w-50-viscosity-oils
But again, you can certainly use a straight 20W (for colder climates) or 30W oil in that unit.
Hello, what type ans SAE of oil to put in an 200L 12Bar 220V air compressor? Garage temperature about 20-30 Celsium during summer and 10-23 Celsium during winter. the air compressor is not working all the time, a few times.
For nearly every reciprocating air compressor, an ISO 100 compressor oil is recommended (US spec at least). These oils are formulated for air compressors and do not have detergents like standard motor oils do. Please reply if you have any follow-up questions!
Note question just posted. Thanks
You know, here in Peru we call the "straight oil" monograde oil and the "mixed viscosity oil" multigrade oil. I have a cheap 2.5HP compressor, our temperature never gets too cold. Should I use simply 30w?
Btw, my compressor motor and tubing are getting very hot in less than just 2 tank refills. It's that normal? It's a 13.5 gallons unit.
Good to know! I would say yes, if the ambient temp never gets below ~34° F than you can use the monograde 30W oil. Thanks for the question!
@@AirCompressorPartsOnline Thank you. What about the motor and piping getting very hot? Do you know what could be wrong?
@@leonardorojas1781 The compressor head and discharge tube will get pretty hot when running, this is normal. But if it is too hot then you may have an obstruction in the pump head. The valves may be clogged with debris or damaged (same with the gaskets) so the unit may be running for longer than it should due to loss of compression. You may want to remove the pump head and inspect the intake valves, exhaust valves and gaskets. Also, make sure there is no debris in the one-way valve in the tank (check valve). An obstruction here can cause a blockage and create back pressure to the head.
@@AirCompressorPartsOnline The check valve is what gets very hot too, barely touchable. Apart from the compressor head, which hotness you can feel if you near your face to it like 4 inches. This is in just 2 tank refills. I don't use much this tool for now, but I'll do use it more when my shop is more developed. I'm worried if I use it for a couple of hours the compressor head may melt down! Ha
I'll be changing the oil and disassembling the check valve first as I've noticed sometimes there's leakage from below the switch. Btw, the tank looses air. From being full to automatically recharging in like 20 minutes, without any use. Must be a faulty check valve.
My unit has only one valve out with its pressure gauge. I'd like 2 or 3 valves out with their own gauges. One for painting, one for nailing, and other one for blowing... How to proceed?
Thank you so much for your attention. You have been very kind. 👊🏻
I have a Hitachi twin tank hand held compressor. It says to change the oil with 15W-40. I was going to pick up the Kobalt ISO-100 oil at Lowe’s till I looked online and saw it was requiring 15W-40. Is that too heavy in 30-40 degree weather?
In our opinion, the 15W-40 oil is not necessary if your ambient operating temp never dips below freezing. 15W is the viscosity when the unit is cold and the "40" is the kinematic viscosity rating at operating temperature (usually 100°C). A straight 20W (for cold temps) and 30W is certainly sufficient.
I have the same compressor, but I use 5W-40 euro synthetic motor oil in mine. Does yours say to use 5W-50 in it if synthetic? That's what threw me off.
hello , i have jun-air lubricated compressor , its leaking from inside , how can i fix it please
I have a 60gal and the manual says I need to use 40w! I have found out finding a true 40w compressor oil is hard. is it OK to use a 30w?
That's right, you can use a 30W air compressor oil in lieu of a 40W oil. The slightly lower viscosity of a 30w is sufficient for any reciprocating air compressor, honestly. The best recommendation I can make is to use a synthetic blend or a full synthetic air compressor oil, as these oils operate exceedingly well in a variety of temperature ranges. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks! much appreciated!
I have a single stage 1 hp air compressor, in my place winter is very cold and summer very hot, i would like to use a synthetic oil , what brand and kind of compressor oil do you recommend to me? thanks
+Ubaldo Molina In your case a compressor synthetic or partial synthetic will work just fine.
You can view our options at our website by clicking on the below link:
www.aircompressorpartsonline.com/index.php?r=product/view&id=733
These oils are knows to operate in very cold and warm climates, and can go a very long time between oil changes.
does compressor oil damage car paint?
+winkawak It's not recommended if you can help it! Just like standard motor oil (with detergents), it can damage car paint and at the very least, it can cause the paint to not spray evenly and drip, clog lines and just give an overall shabby paint job. Motor oil with detergents is probably worse, but compressor oil isn't much better. As long as you have a good oil and particulate filter in your air line you should be okay. If you do and you still get oil through the line, it may be time to replace the Rings (and possibly valves) in the pump.

I bought the ace brand compressor oil and I'm wondering if it's for air compressors it doesnt say maybe it's for a/c compressors???
google it bro
would you want to run a 10w30 in the winter when your compressor is out in the cold.
Thanks for the question. You would want to run a straight 20 weight non-detergent oil in that case, not a mixed viscosity oil. If temps are around or below freezing, then a straight 20W is recommended.
I run a heater near mine in the winter. I have a small shop. Condensation in the tanks can freeze & start air line leaks.
Hi we have a Mehrer piston type air compressor ATL83-G. At 100 PSI it can output 68CFM. What oil rating can you recommend SAE and ISO? Thanks
In general, reciprocating piston compressors use SAE 30 wt/ISO 100 lubricants.
But, I cannot advise you with certainty about German made units.
This unit was in a pharmaceutical application, which suggests it may be oil-less in the upper section and a lubricated and isolated crank case. Hope this helps.
what do I use for a new Hitachi 8 gallons air compressor?
If the ambient temperature is not freezing, use a straight 30 weight (ISO 100) compressor oil, certainly. If you're going to be using nearly everyday (if you are a contractor), I'd recommend using 30 weight synthetic compressor oil. Hopefully this answers your questions!
what oil and how much oil to use in a toyota yaris 2001 airconditioner compressor
That's a very good question Gilbert, and a question I can't answer, I'm afraid. I would look in your vehicle's owners manual or contact a Toyota technician at the dealership to find the answer to that. I'm sure you could ask the question on a Toyota forum on the Web, as I'm sure someone has asked the question before. This video is mainly concerned with air compressor oil in non-automotive equipment. Good luck!
Hello. Good day! May I know how many mL/L of oil for vespa 2 cylinder?
Hello! I have no idea, to be honest. I would contact Vespa or a Vespa dealer :-)
@@AirCompressorPartsOnline Ok sir thank you in advance. Willing to wait :)
I am converting a refrigerator compressor for my (failed within 90 day warranted) Central Pneu..... 3 gal air compressor and I would like to use a synthetic oil. I don't need a lot but cannot find a re seller.
Well, we do sell a full synthetic air compressor oil, take a look at the below link to view it:
www.aircompressorpartsonline.com/reciprocating-lubricants-fully-synthetic-oil-synthetic-air-compressor-oil-p-733.html
Various manufacturers of air compressors offer it as well (Coleman Powermate, Campbell Hausfeld, RolAir, Jenny etc) but you would need to purchase it from an authorized retailer or repair shop most likely as they don't sell to the end user. The big box stores may even offer it in smaller containers (8 oz). Hope this helps!
Thank you for the video. I almost put motor oil in the compressor!
How do you know how much oil to put? We picked up an older 60 gallon compressor and just doing the maintenance before using. There is no dipstick. Just a small window right above the drain hole. Do I fill until half way of the window or more/less?
Thanks in advance for any info.
Paul
Glad to help Paul, and it's good to hear you found the video helpful! It sounds like your pump does have an oil sight glass so yes, you'll want to fill it with oil until it is at the halfway point of the sight glass, or just above it. If it dips below the halfway point, add a touch of oil. Happy compressing!
Nice video. I'm looking for a similar video for my compressor.. 4500 psi or 300 bar yes that high. I'm looking for equilivants to a Mobil 827/829..
For that type of compressor (I assume it's a rotary screw unit) I would highly recommend you contact a factory rep for whomever makes the unit so they can recommend the correct lubricant for your unit. Thanks for watching!
Is their an anti rust additive I can put in my compressor tank ?
There is nothing one can add to the oil itself to prevent rust, as you don't want oil in the tank in the first place. I don't know of an additive one can add to the tank, the best way to prevent rust is to drain the tank after every use and keep it empty. Compressed air produces moisture, so draining the tank regularly is important.
its called an automatic drain lol
Hello sir, I want to ask you.. can compressor oil use sae40w?. THANKS
Thank you for the question! Most reciprocating air compressor pumps use a straight 20w, 30w or 40w. In very cold ambient temps, a 20w oil is best, while a 30w or 40w is perfectly fine for most compressors above freezing temps. And, NON-detergent oil is required.
What about oil for a compressor that fills scuba tanks?
I have to say I'm not terribly familiar with breathing air compressors as that's a unique application. Most breathing air compressors are oil-free so you don't have to worry about oil particulates bleeding through to the air line. If yours is an oil-bath pump, however, I'd still recommend using a straight 30W (ISO100) air compressor oil (NON-detergent, as all compressor oils are). From there, it's just a matter of installing the necessary air and oil filtration systems which will give you clean air.
I am a diver and a longtime ago, I was told that the oil in a scuba air compressor was Whale oil. It was the only oil that would not poison the air for scuba divers. Be verrrry careful what you use. I would find a pro for help. You don’t want to kill some diver.
can i use compressor oil lubricant RL 100h on my michellin air compressor? thanks
Thanks for the question Henry. The only Michelin air compressors I see on Google are oil-free units, so I'm not very familiar with their air compressors, honestly. I would use the oil notated in the unit's owner's manual and if you don't have the manual, I'd contact Michelin to find out the correct spec oil for your unit. Most reciprocating air compressors use an ISO 68 or ISO 100 straight viscosity oil, but I'm not familiar with Michelin's air compressors.
thank you..
I have a compair 205V
Recommended oil is Caltex EP VDL 100, what type of oil is equivalent in other brands?
From what I can tell from the documentation available online, this Caltex oil is ISO 100 synthetic compressor oil which is basically petroleum-based oil rated for higher temperature conditions (up to 220 deg C, or 428 deg F). I believe any ISO 100 synthetic reciprocating compressor oil can be substituted for the Caltex oil. I'm not terribly familiar with Caltex but going by the specs, there is nothing necessarily unique about this oil. You could use a Jenny "Synthetic Blue", Amsoil full synthetic compressor oil or any full synthetic, ISO 100 air (reciprocating) compressor oil.
Thanks very much for the reply, I was thinking ISO100 could be the go to oil, but as I made this comment, my starter solenoid gave up. It's now being quoted up to do new oil, filters, SS, pressure gauge, easier to reach drain tap, I probably should have done most of that myself, but while it's there.. might as well ask the experts to atleast give me a quote.
I agree, it can't hurt to obtain a quote. If it's a newer compressor, the best reason to go with the OEM oil is to keep your warranty, as using a third party lubricant will most likely void it. Thanks for the comments!
can I use Auto engine oil or any other oil in my air compressor? what is the best alternative for this?
I just use ATF oil
Could you use chainsaw oil for a air compressor?
Thanks for the question Larry! I would not recommend using chainsaw oil in an air compressor, no. The viscosity and chemical make-up of the oil is different.
what do you mean "cold temp".?. like 10F or 40F ?
MrMrsregor Think he means below freezing.
how do I maintain my IR vhp400
Hi what kind of oil do you recommend for 60 gallon Campbell Hausfeld? If anyone have recommendation please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance.
Hi Maelieng! Any of the oils on this page link below will work for reciprocating air compressors.
Fully synthetic will require fewer oil changes as it does for cars, yet all of these are excellent lubricants.

Can you use steering pump fluid or engine oil say 10w/40 in an emergency?
Garry Gemmell In an "Emergancy" you would use 10w30 Fully synthetic. At least that's what my Husky owners manual says is acceptable.
I still prefer synthetic or synthetic blend compressor oil. What I would do is buy extra compressor oil so you have it on hand.
I just bought a new air compressor and I did the initial 10 minute break-in process per the manual. Am I to assume I'd be okay to run full synthetic in my air compressor now?
You are correct Ozzie. Once the compressor pump is "broken in" for 10 to 15 minutes (you run it without a "load", so remove the discharge tube and run the unit), you can change out the break-in oil to a full synthetic compressor oil. Happy compressing!
Hi there. Thanks for the video. I have an old (very old) WWII era compressor. Any guesses to what weight would be best, 30 weight perhaps, or maybe something heavier?
Glad to help if I can. If it's a reciprocating piston air compressor pump I would probably still use the same oil as modern recip compressors. I would say a 30 weight is sufficient, yes. Make sure to drain every bit of old oil out of the crankcase. It would also be a good idea to pour some new oil in and drain that right away before you fill it completely with good air compressor oil. It would probably be a good idea to use a partial synthetic air compressor oil too. Hope this helps!
Okay, thanks. The oil hasn't been changed in many years. Yes, it's a twin cylinder recip. I think I'll drain the oil and refill with kerosene. Turn it over by hand a few times. Drain kerosene out and fill with 30 weight. Run it a few minutes and drain that oil out and refill again with fresh 30 weight. That should clean it up. :) I wonder if I can find main bearings and other parts for an old pump like mine? It would be nice to rebuild it one of these days. It still works okay though as is. The storage tanks are three oxygen cylinders from a Douglas A-26 Invader. Thanks again!
Good idea, I would certainly do what you can to get the old girl up and running again as I'm sure it's a very solid compressor. As for the replacement bearings, you may still be able to obtain them. I would simply remove them (or at least remove the crankshaft from the pump) and take a look at the number on outer race that will tell you what kind of bearing it is. E.g. "6001RS" or "17831". This should be a universal bearing # that you can match up with a current replacement.
Thanks again. Yeah, that's the problem, it still runs fine. So likely the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" likely applies. I'll just change the oil for now. Still, it would be fun to rebuild it. Thanks for the tip on the bearings. :)
Glad to help if I can and good luck!
I have a compressor that I bought a bottle of oil with. The bottle is "Air compressor oil ISO-100 non detergent". There's a caution on the bottle not to use anything else such as 10W-30. However, the compressor manual states to use "premium quality 30 weight non-detergent air compressor oil". So is this the same as the ISO-100 I'm using or do I have contradicting information? Do I have the right oil? Thanks
It sounds as though you have the correct oil, yes. We also recommend straight 30 weight, non-detergent oil, and the oil we use is ISO-100 or ISO-68. You certainly don't want to use a mixed viscosity oil. Bottom line, it sounds like you have the right oil. Thanks for the comment!
Sorry I am not asking about engine oil I am asking about ac system oil ,, PAG oil
We don't usually give advice for vehicles, but typing your model car into Google I get the below recommendation:
"The 2013 hyundai sonata motor oil capacity is 4.86 us quarts (4.6 liters). the sae 5w-30 or 5w-40 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures for the 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0l engine and 5w-20 or 5w-30 for the 2.4l engine."
For higher temperatures, you want to use a higher viscosity oil. A synthetic oil will also help as it protects engine parts through a wider range of temperatures.
100% synthetic blend? that doesn't make much sense
If we stated that in the video then you're correct, that doesn't make much sense! We just like to keep people on their toes to see if they'll notice :-P
A synthetic blend is blended w/ standard oil and synthetic compressor oil, of course. We do carry 100% synthetic oils as well. Good catch.
+Air Compressor Parts Online 2:17
Hello, If you mixed a blend of synthetic and non-synthetic and then put that in a bottle, it would be a "100 percent synthetic blend".
People, just go to your local parts house and buy Non-Detergent SAE 30 motor oil. You're welcome.
You can do this, yes, but keep in mind that if you use standard motor oil, it could void your manufacturer warranty. Also, for industrial units, air compressor oil is actually better and gives better performance than motor oils will.
I would go with what's recommended in the compressor manual; the people that should know what is best for their compressor.
"It's a 100% Synthetic Blend"....Hmmmmmm🤔
you probably use it with air tools. no way I use your oil..I use the one what fireman use or scuba divers... inhale oil mist is not recommendable....just a fair warning.....goedendag
