It originally would have had non detergent oil, probably 20 or 30 weight.
You can buy reciprocating (piston type) compressor oil, which is just non detergent oil.
That will work fine for your application, as I doubt the compressor will see hard, continuous service.
Synthetic compressor oil is the best. It resists carboning of the valves when the compressor is seeing a lot of work, running long hours under heavy load.
The reason it needs non detergent oil is because of the ash and carbon deposits in the valves left behind by the detergent additives.
Once you get the compressor up and running, watch it closely to be sure it properly unloads when up to pressure. Since it has been sitting the unload devise mat be stuck or the unloader diaphragms may be rotted. If it fails to unload the pressure will continue to build. Be sure to test the relief valve to be sure it is free and works.
