One place I work, has a huge compressor. Three phase, from
what I can tell. Crankcase, and sight glass. I don't see an
oil level in the crankcase. The fill plug (big knurled
thing) didn't want to come out. I'll put a Channelocks on it
tomorrow, if I have time. Shine my minimag into the
crankcase, and see if I see any oil in there. Light up the
sight glass window from inside.

So, don't those beasts typically take ND-30 motor oil? Yeah,
they probably make something specific for crankcases, and
sell it in 4 ounce bottles so they can charge more.

Try a compressor shop.

Reminds me of the joke about Prince Albert in a Can. Yes, a
compressor shop is the correct source, from the horse of
course.

The use, here, isn't likely to need a galon.

Compressor oil should be changed regularly. Buy the gallon.

You can buy it at Walmart if you know what to look for: "SA" rated 30wt
motor oil (the cheap non-detergent stuff.) You have to look for it cuz
there will be just one brand, and it's not conspicuously cheaper)

Now that's a friendly place to ask a question.

NOT!

If it were my own unit, I'd do that. I asked today and find
out the compressor I glanced at yesterday isn't in use. The
shop gets the compressed air from the other building, who
has a larger compressor. Oh, well.

Alternating havoc list, well, that's a place that defies
(polite) description.

More rectal orifices than a 12 place latrine next to a
greasy spoon serving salmonella burgers.

Check out www.Grainger.com for oils by the gallon of 5 gallon pail. There
is also a synthetic oil that will cost about $50 a gallon.

I've been on alternating havoc for about ten years. My
