I bought a 60 gallon air compressor and the only thing it mentions about break in is to change the oil after 100hrs. Now I've heard you're supposed to let it run for an hour or so constantly with the valve open so it doesn't shut off and also not to overheat the piston rings. Well I already let it air all the way up to 175 psi figuring that's what most people do anyways. It probably has about an hour of runtime on it right now. Should I go ahead and let it run for an hour straight? Or just use it and not worry about it? I think this goes back to that whole break em in hard or easy b.s..
