Hello,
* * *I have an old (1950's I beleive) Wayne air compressor with a 20-25 gal
tank. I don't have a manual for it as it came in the garage when we bought
the house. It has a single cylinder and runs off 220 volt power. I see that
the oil level is down slightly so would like to top it up. Can anyone
recommend the weight of compressor oil?... While I'm at it, can anyone
recommend a website where I can get a pdf *manual for such a compressor? * I
have googled Wayne Compressors and have lots of sites, but no manuals...have
learnt that they were the compressor of choice for gas station owners in the
1920's though 1950's.............Thanks... Jim


Does it have a drain plug, even if not you change you motor, trans and
differential oil, change the compressor. Contact a manufacturer on oil
type. Maybe 20-30w
