I just use simple 30W oil in my old compressor. I don't have one anymore but the 60 gal in my shop, which is hardly on anymore. We switched over to cordless tools. Cheaper to run and no tripping over air hoses. Got tired of fighting the air hose too.
Instead of investing in new air compressors and updating elec. to accommodate them (having 220 is nice but not always necessary in a home situation) in home shop, spend the money on cordless tools. Cordless impact, ratchet are used often when it comes to car repair, but I do understand the need for compressed air if sand blasting or an air chisel is needed. How often is the question? 200 bucks for an impact. 120 for an air ratchet will satisfy most your automotive needs.
