I installed three computer cpu cooling fans. The compressor runs about 30 mins then it stops for about 30 mins. It continues to supply compressed air to the tonearm even when the motor is not running because it has large air reservoir(10 gallons tank). The highest temperature of the running...

Hello all! It has been a great learning experience. I am going to try to flush the oil out of the compressor first. I guess it is not easy to do it. It may take a lot of patient to finish it. To rlitman, It is a great idea to put the oil back into the compressor by using a lubricator. I will...

I did a search and found the oil (Please see the image)on zoro tools website. http://www.zoro.com/i/G2382642/ I guess it should be ok.

Ok. Thank you all for your help! I am going to get a bottle of PAG100.

I understand. Should I choose PAG 46, 100?

The compressor works very well. It is very quiet. The noise level is just same as a small fridge. I attach more images to show the compressor.

The problem is the oil come out of air filter may mix with water. In stead of reusing these oil, I am thinking of adding some oil. It is simple solution. And the oil is not expensive.

I made an silent air compressor using a fridge compressor. It works very good. However, the compressor may pump some oil into the air line. I think to add some oil into the compressor. I know the compressor uses R134a oil. But I don't know what kind of R134a to use. Can anyone give me some...
