I have an ancient (mid 60's best guess)Leroi Dresser with a Ford V-4 gas engine. I need to figure out what oil to put in the compressor section.
I bought this unit as a ____ You to CARB (California Air Resources Board) as its gas powered and not diesel so they cant fine me into the stone age for operating a non compliant diesel.
It has an recommended oil plaque on it but its ridiculously vague. It says "use mineral oil, hydraulic oil, or turbine oil"
Any thoughts on what a suitable compressor oil would be?
