Silentaire Compressor Oil, Synthetic (24 Ounce Bottle)

If you have a Silentaire compressor like me (I have the Super Silent 20A) you are pretty much required to use this oil. I had used Badger oil in the past but this is the first time I completely emptied the compressor and put a new oil in it. I figured that it would be better to use their oil.I have no problem with the compressor before or after changing the oil, it works flawless.In conclusion I would say that this oil is fine, a bit expensive but like I said you have no choice.

Needed it for an old high end Airbrush Air compressor. Saved the day!

been using Silentaire products for 30 years, expensive but have to have......

Was as stated! Great product!

I picked up a used Silentaire compressor for airbrushing miniatures. I read prior that they like this specialty oil. I thought "heh I'm sure I can find a substitute as there are so many quality synthetic compressor oils out there" but I have yet been able to get another manufacturer to confirm or recommend an equivalent oil. I was buying this off eBay from a seller but they decided to jack their price up higher than Amazon so the last bottle or two came from Amazon.I'm half tempted to try another oil if I could find a test compressor to trial it on. After having these compressors apart, I'm really shocked that they require such an expensive oil for such a common refrigerator compressor (these compressors on the Silentaire products definitely appear to be a run of the mil refrigerator compressor and there are many videos on YouTube showing compressors being refurbished in India).I think the oil cost comes from needing a pure oil for medical/dental air which many of these Silentaire compressors are used for. I bet for nail guns and air brushes an equivalent ester based compressor oil with the same iso viscosity would do.
