I never been a good hand at that "If it aint broke dont fix it" advice, but Im beginning to wonder lol. I have (had) two real good air compressors, one a twin V two stage Ingersoll Rand (or is it a Dresser?? heck I 4 get) and the other a 5 HP 2 cylinder single stage and BOTH are fairly new and in good shape ran smooth n quiet not oil pumpers or noisy whatsoever. Soooooooo last summer I get this wild hair to drain their oil and replace it with some of that expensive fancy shmancy Synthetic Compressor Oil. Seemed like a great idea at the time. ANYWHO in the past week BOTH BLEW UP. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR one pretty much locked up I found both belts burned off, and the other has some slack n bump feel when it turns and it broke n spun the big pulley off the tapered keyed shaft. See if I everrrrrrr use expensive Synthetic Compressor Oil again Anyone had similar problem with Synthetic Oil??? I use it religiously in my better cars n truck n motorhome, but now Im a lil nervous !!!!!!!!!! Ol John T
