The label says "viscosity index VI", but I have no idea how that translates to the weight of the oil. I've searched everywhere. John

Sloinker, 2 posts above mentioned it.?

Yep - How do you think I feel filling it up? John

I'm searching for Group V oil now. John

SCBA stands for self-contained breathing apparatus and is typically used by firefighters or hazmat unit. SCUBA stands for self-contained underwater breathing apparatus and is very similar but it is used underwater. SCBA tanks hold up to 4500psi. SCUBA tanks up to 3000psi. John

I either fill my rifle directly from the compressor -or - fill a 60 minute SCBA tank and then refill my rifle from there. There is a water filter at the end of compressor fill hose. Yes! The top end (high pressure portion) of the compressor gets extremely hot. It'll melt flesh. John

My SCBA tank. Fire fighters use them for breathing. John

Thought I'd mention: I haven't seen a full synthetic that is non-detergent. They all seem to have detergents. John

Using it to air up my pellet rifle and fill a tank - not for breathing. John

My PCP (Pre Charged Pneumatic) pellet rifle holds 4350psi. John

Adding to 'my' confusion:

Here's what mu manual says: Lubricant oil: ISO VG46 Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oil, Mobil DTE25, Mobil 826or equivalent

Yes - I've seen the specs but nowhere do they indicate the weight. Yong Heng recommends Lubricant oil: ISO VG46 Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oil, Mobil DTE25, Mobil 826or equivalent, but they all seem to get very dirty very quic Yong Heng recommends Lubricant oil: ISO VG46 Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oil...

Why would holding particulate in suspension be more harmful than deposit build-up elsewhere, like atop the high-pressure piston? Here's what it looks like. High pressure the skinny one on the top...

Detergent or non-detergent? Everywhere I look, including forums for this compressor, indicate non-detergent full synthetic at 20-30 weight for reasons I cannot comprehend.
