NCWayne said: (quoted from post at 04:55:32 05/05/14) Most regular piston compressors need nothing more than a good 30 weight, non-detergent oil to run. The main difference between the non-detergent oil and regular detergent engine oil when it comes to being run in a compressor is that it has less of a chance of foaming....at least that"s what I have always been told.
Whut he said... I brought a used almost new compressor and the guy gave me a case of Ingersoll Rand select compressor oil. Till then I ran 30wt non detergent oil... I used the IR select in both of my compressors and liked the fact that the oil did not turn to milk real soon like it did with other oils...
I pay the price for IR select if the price bother me I would use 30wt ND.... I don't think the IR oil will make it last any longer the main thing is to change the oil... I change it every six mo. I cycle mu compressors I run one in the winter and one in the summer its a 6 mo cycle...

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
