I'm finding that the nearest seller of manufacturer brand air

Is it acceptable to use a name brand 30W-Non Detergent (SA) oil
instead?
Barry, I have an OLD Gilbarco virtical compressor (the kind that oil
companies used to "give" to service stations years ago. It is probably
from the late 40's or 50's. I was told to run 30wt nd in it and always
have.
It's kinda aggravating - it takes about 15 min to pump up - but it was
cheep, as in free.
Bill.
Many thanks for the responses.. I'll pick some up.
