Hello all,
It's a pleasure to find this site, especially since I've been pulling my hair out (what's left of it) trying to determine the best oil for my Yong Heng high pressure compressor which makes 4500psi. No matter which oil I try it all gets dirty very quickly. The crank case is a splash style with the low pressure and high-pressure pistons directly above. The manufacturer suggests not running it hotter than 55 degrees Celsius (131F). These compressors get really hot really fast. They are water cooled. I use a bucket filled with ice.
While in Menards the other day I stumbled upon the Sanborn oil, but the viscosity is not labeled and nowhere to be found online. I tested the 'All Weather' and the compressor reached 121F in 6 minutes.
So - long story short. Does anyone know the weight of these two oils?
Thanks in advance - John.
