Your compressor has an oil issue, does it?
Many, many requests come into this website from folks questioning what to do when their compressor has an oil issue.
If one of your compressor oil issues is an oil change, if you want some step by step instructions on how to change your compressor oil in a typical DIY type air compressor, this site has a page on how to change the oil and the right oil to use.
Also, please check out the video below in which a much younger me explains what is the default oil to use in your small or workshop reciprocating air compressor.
