DeVilbiss Compressor Help

[Jeeper75]

Hello everyone! I picked up a DeVilbiss compressor and have some questions. It says on the side of the compressor to use 10w oil, where can I get some of that or what else can I use? Also there is a pressure switch on the top but I don't know what pressure it is for. Is there any way to tell? Here are some Pics. Any help/suggestions would be helpful. Not sure how big the tank is. Thanks Brad

just use a non-detergent 10 weight (straight weight, not multi-viscosity) oil and you will be fine. Might have to special order it through your local auto parts store though; most air compressors use ND 30 weight so that is likely what they'll stock unless they have a big oil selection.

The googs tells me that Kendall makes what you're looking for though, so if you have a local store that stocks Kendall products they can probably get it for you.

Anyone know anything about the pressure switch?
