Dayton Speedaire Model 3Z419 - what oil and how much?

I'm trying to find the oil capacity and what type of oil to use for this unit.

Thanks.

I don't have the specs for this model, and you don't indicate the HP but I'm guessing it's a fairly small compressor?

It will either have a sight glass or a dipstick to measure oil fill levels.

I suspect it will take less than a quart to fill, and you do want to be careful as you do, that you don't overfill, as that brings with it its own series of problems.

If you buy either compressor rated lubricating oil at the store, or a 30 W (not 5w-30 or 10w-30, but just 30 weight) none detergent oil, you should be OK.

Why not contact Grainger too and get the specialists recommendation? They own the Speedaire brand.

Cheers,

Bill
