I inherited my 91 year old father 1959 beast of a compressor, a Kellogg American.
Been sitting for a loooooong time, I drained the oil, it was black.
I know it calls for "non detergent 30 wt compressor oil" but what I would like to do is; in hopes of running and flushing it out several times with a detergent 30 wt then, switch to a non detergent 30 wt.
Again, just trying to get some of the 'muck' in the sump outta there... feedback?
BTW, is true "compressor oil" all that preferred vs a non-detergent 30 wt?
