I have this Husky Professional 30 Gal Air Compressor (CH USA) and I'm currently running it with regular Shell SAE30 Non-Detergent oil. I usually don't use my compressor that much during the cold winter months, but lately my cars have needed some unexpected maintenance and I've been going for my air tools whenever I can. The last week has seen some really cold days where I live and when starting the compressor for the first time the electric motor and pistons have struggled a bit to get going. I was wondering if I would see easier starting/less stress on the compressor if I switched over to a synthetic compressor oil like AMSOIL ISO 46 (20WT) or AMSOIL ISO 100 (30/40WT)? Would these oils be compatible with my CH compressor?
Thanks
