Thanks for all the input. 30W non detergent it
is.
I am working on my truck and will pick some up at Napa on a
parts run. My compressor is about 10 years old and I had bought a gallon of
“compressor oil” at
O Reilly's in a mark down basket and I have used it
all.

Another vote for
non-detergent 30W which my manual calls for - Valvoline still makes it. I
change mine every 5 years - holds 3 qrts - I hang a maintenance placard reminder
on the motor. Bought it new over 30 years ago - hobby use but has painted
quite a few cars. 5hp Automan. http://www.valvoline.com/products/consumer-products/motor-oil/non-detergent-sae-30/ From:

On Behalf Of Ollie I have a 5 hp,
3 piston, air compressor. What type of oil should I use? I would think 30w
detergent? Ollie -- -- -- Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
