The same is true for Diesels in mack trucks. Million mile Desels are commonplace where years ago you majored an engine at 250,000 miles. The better oils help all engines last longer. But there is a place for non detergent oil, in a oil-flooded rotary vane compressor. I cannot find the 10 weight non detergent oil called for in my compressor in anything like the quantities needed so I am using 32 hydraulic oil which has a similar viscosity. 10 weight detergent is common, but to use it now after all the years of non-detergent would dislodge all the crud that had built up in the compressor oil system, just like in an engine, and make the vanes stick and raise all kinds of cain.
