changing the oil in the Speedaire motor

by Mike Vinson
(Richmond, CA)

We have a Speedaire 10HP compressor used 5 days a week. How often should the oil be changed and what type of oil would be the best?

thanks,

Hi Mike:

Five days a week, but for how long each day?

I liken the compressor head to the car engine. If you are using general purpose compressor oil, maybe change it every three or four months?

If using is a synthetic compressor oil, longer between changes.

Best to contact Speedaire directly and get their recommendation for oil change intervals and the compressor oil to be used for your specific compressor.

Click on the Speedaire link on the nav bar, and follow the guides to find the location nearest you.

Cheers,

Bill
