I bought a new air compressor and received it today from HF. It's a
Central Pneumatic 2 HP, 8 gallon, 115 psi.

I discovered that it was not an oilless compressor. They put enough oil
in it to test it, but did not fill it, nor include any oil to fill it.
The oil fill viewer on the side is empty, but there are indications that
some oil was put in there.

The factory fills them with oil, tests them, maybe breaks them in a bit,
then drains the oil and ships them. It wasn't just filled enough to
test it, and if you've run it like that, you may have done damage and it
won't be covered under the warranty.
