quincy air compressor lubricant question

[AndeiH]

I have a 5 hp quincy 80 gallon compressor and wanted to do a maintenance lubricant change. Looked it up online and the kit is 200+ dollars!! Am I looking at the right one?

Any alternatives besides not changing it?

Thanks

2 oil changes and - air filters should cost about $80. So you are not finding the right kit.So keep looking.

so this is $200 kit. obviously not for one time use.

use 30 wt non detergent oil.

30wt, Non Det. What pump do you have?

Thanks for the replies.

The compressor I have is the quincy QT-5

BTT:

I have a similar compressor QT-54 60 gallon unit. Wondering what everyone is using for oil, and where they are getting it, Amazon is having a tough time finding the Oil by itself.

I have a Model 325 and I ordered a 1 gal. jug of Quin-Cip, (Quincy brand) oil when I rebuilt the compressor. That was over a year ago and I still haven't used it all since it mostly sees action only on weekends. Like others have said though, I'm sure any non-detergent oil of the correct viscosity will work.

I bought all my parts, including oil and filters, from Industrial Air Power. If you have the Quincy parts manual for your compressor just grab the part number and type it into their catalog. They sell both OE and aftermarket parts. Note: I have no affiliation with IAP, just found they had all the parts I needed at a decent price.
