Air compressor oil...

I have a medium sized compressor that I've had for over 20 years.
It's given great trouble free service for all that time. Not bad considering I bought it second hand.

I haven't changed the oil in a while so can't remember what I used.

Any suggestion?

Go to Sears or a competent tool shop and buy...Compressor oil. Drain the water out of the air tank while you're at it.

So mines a DeVilbiss and it uses 10W30. I remember calling them and asking them if I could order oil for the compressor and the guy was like "why? you can get it anywhere."

This thread talked briefly about it at the end.

Air compressor recommendations?

I was told to use straight 30 weight, non detergent.
