I'm betting Mobil paid them to say that. You should be able to use any 10w30 motor oil just fine, though I would strongly recommend synthetic. (Mobil or otherwise) My compressor says to only use 30W non detergent oil, but I've been using various brands of 10w30 just fine. The manual also says I never need to change the oil, which is an outright lie....

I to think the the 10w30 is the oil i should use.I am not into syn oil.I do have some 5w20 havoline that is tempting to use also.
