Can anyone tell me where can buy 30W ND (Non Detergent oil) in SFO? I have been
to HD, Lowes, Kragen, Pep Boys and almost every auto spare part store and cannot
find any Non-Detergent oil. The closest oil I can buy is at Sears, they sell
20W (and it may not be ND). I remember O'Relly in the Midwest do sell Shell 30W
ND oil in their stores.

Thanks

I have no idea specifically, but one those must carry oil specifically
marked "compressor" oil instead of looking for ND motor oil?

If no retail, try the industrial supply folks in yellow pages...

Back in the days when I used to have a compressor that used Anderol 500, I got
it from the Ingersol compressor dealer down the street. Sometimes the answer is
the most obvious.

I would expect a compressor company to carry any kind of oil used in a
compressor. I used to get my activated alumina and activated charcoal from them
as well. We were filling scuba cylinders.

Sears used to carry "compressor oil" in the tool department.
Obviously, a compressor shop would have it.

I think I've seen at least one brand of 30wt API SA-rated motor oil at
Walmart recently. I think you can also use API "SB" motor oil (if you
can find it)

Home Depot has it. They carry Ingersol Rand air compressor oil in the tool
department.

Yes, they sell 20W compressor oil, but no indication if it's "Non-detergent"
oil. Was there this morning. Thanks

NAPA Auto Parts is where I get mine. I may be wrong, but I think the 30W

just checked to make sure).

Now if somebody can tell me where I can buy 20W ND ...

I called up and they told me they have 3Qt left, and immediately buy all three
Qt, that should last me a few years. I did ask if they have 20W Non-Detergent
oil, yes they have.

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

walmart has it.

I've seen the result of tests of using ND oil in an automobile
engine. Cuts engine life in half.

I question the mfg in requiring it in their compressors.

I've not seen any foaming in the other oils.

I've never seen a recommendation to use detergent oil for a
compressor. Unless it says it is, you should be quite safe.

Bob

same thing i think. tractor supply has 20w nd .

I buy all of that sort of stuff at McMaster-Carr. Always have it next
day for minimal shipping charge.

I second that. The shipping [even for a big bag of bolts] is usually
less than what I would have spent on impulse crap at the borg. Even
if I had some self-control, I can be doing something other than being
frustrated by out-of-stock, misplaced, poor quality, or
not-quite-right goods. [and most of the above applies to way too many
of the clerks these days]

I'm in upstate NY and I have gotten next-day deliveries from McMaster,
but it is usually 2 days. Well worth the wait.

[Their site lists a brick&mortar in LA so west coast deliveries are
probably as fast.]
