I'm finding that the nearest seller of manufacturer brand air compressor oil (Rol Air) is not terribly convenient.
Is it acceptable to use a name brand 30W-Non Detergent (SA) oil instead?

You can get compressor oil (Mobil Rarus?) in gallons from McMaster, and probably MSC.

Barry, I have an Gilbarco virtical compressor (the kind that oil companies used to "give" to service stations years ago. It is probably from the late 40's or 50's. I was told to run 30wt nd in it and always have. It's kinda aggravating - it takes about 15 min to pump up - but it was cheep, as in free. Bill.
Old Kellogg Americans don't even need oil. :) The best compressors I have seen to date, incl. IRs. Haven't seen big old Quincy's, but I'm pretty sure the KAs are on par.
Many thanks for the responses.. I'll pick some up.
