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.
