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

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.


It is illegal to ship a compressor with oil in it. They should, however,
either include it or tell you up front that you have to buy oil.



I have some 10w30 motor oil and some 10w30 Mobil1 handy. What oils have
you used without destroying the compressor?

I'd use the Mobil 1. Most any good oil will work though.
