im looking at either amsoil or the royal purple compressor oil. is anybody on here a amsoil dealer that can get a better price then online? they want almost 30 bucks for 2 qaurts shipped.

Looks like a nice machine for the price. Mobil Rarus or ChampLub are readily available. Is that a 3/4" Snap On ratchet head sitting on it?

yes sir it is. i put it there to give an idea on the size of this thing. interesting story on that snap on head i have a 19 inch handle and a 36 inch handle for it, well i bent the 36 inch and snap on told me they didnt make the 13/16 diameter long handles for it anymore, but they still make the 19 inch ones. so they sent me a brand new 3/4 ratchet head, a new 36 inch handle for that head, and the universal short handle to fit both of them. so now i have my older one wich is the one you see, and the whole new setup too. Back to the compressor i havent had a big project in the couple days ive had it but so far im loving it, its very quiet and runs perfect. i dont know if you noticed but it says cast iron series made in usa on the tank and on the pump that meant alot to me about it. i dont know the right way to calculate the cfm but it seems very stout as far as that goes aswell. Ware can I get the best price on 2 quarts of synthetic champlub?

Don't know about where you can get synthetic, you can get the standard ChampLub here for $5.95 a quart: http://www.tptools.com/p/709,41_Champ-Lub-Reciprocating-Compressor-Oil.html
