I would expect i have to drain the compressor regularly, especially in the summer. I did look quite a bit about compressors exposed to cold temps and the only thing i found was that they can be harder to start in the cold. THe usual fix is to go synthetic. As this compressor was quite loud when i've used in the past, i didn't really want it in the shop. If it works well enough to get the quincy(s) done and installed/painted, i think they will be quieter. This one has an aluminum pump, so it's probably not rated for the kind of duty i expect to put it through. If i remember right it took quite a long while to pump up too, so i think the pump isn't that large. It doesn't even have a mag starter on it, so i think it might be on the edge of the capacity of the pressure switch. nameplate says 22Amps. i have to look up that and see what the real capacity is. Coleman suffered the compressor overstatement issue too.
