Hi all,
Another but different question on the 'Silent' piston compressor.
Talking to the manufactures today it seems they 'now' supply / recommend a fully synthetic oil, over presumably a semi or purely mineral oil?
Mine suggests it should take an SB-46 but that could be the older spec.
The new spec stuff seems to be this:
I think the 46 refers to ISO 46 (SAE 15W?) but I didn't know if that was enough to determine the spec?
So, if we know it should be ISO 46, fully synthetic, low detergent etc, could I use anything that fits that spec, as the branded stuff seems quite expensive and prices for ISO 46 oil seem to vary wildly?
Is there something 'special' with this compressor oil or could I use a fully synthetic 15W motorcycle fork oil for example?
Cheers, T i m
