How To Change Your Air Compressor Oil 

Airflow/faster draining aside, best practice for oil change is to remove the fill plug first and then remove the drain plug. If you drain the oil out of something and then can't refill the oil because the plug is stuck, you're in a bad spot. This mostly goes for cars and trucks (especially differentials, and transfer cases), but is definitely best practice across the board.

I really need basic videos! Nothing is too basic for many of us newbies> Thanks for making this video!

nice job, thank you for sharing !

Good video. Very informative. Thank you.

Thanks, enjoyed the video.

great vid!!! keep em coming!!! neccessary!

Thanks for the video. I have the same compressor and I think an oil change is long over due. Appreciate it!

thanks - helpful. Can't get motorkote in UK.

We all need basic videos , thank you.

Thank you for the video

Great video. I just done this. Tick!

Great work Ed

Thank You!

Was the oil fill capacity 16 oz?

Thank you Jimmy

can i use ATF for air compressor oil ?

Well done.

What kind of oil do u use.

Oil capacity depends from how hp and air litres has the compressor, as an example a toros em 50l/2hp needs 250 ml sae 30 api-sj/cd

Thank u much appreciated

How's the comp holding up with the Motorkote? Increased performance or Snake oil . . . Inquiring minds want to know.

3:44 are you sure it just didnt shut off after adding all these additives like motorkote? It's designed to shut off after oil change?

How often should you change the oil? I’m sorry if it said in the video I had to skip quickly while at work. Thankyou I’ll definitely be coming back to the video for reference.

My site glass is old and dark I can't see how much is in there how can I tell if it's over the mark

I would of put that oil back in it was nice and clean.

I did this today and spilt oil all over my parent's concrete tiled driveway. The funnel didn't work well and I didn't tilt it.

I just gave the 1K like.

The General Expert had his compressor overfilled before the change....

You don’t need to tilt it

my sight glass is completely useless at this point. can't see anything through it. it honestly looks like metal instead of glass/plastic

Why is the compressor full of oil?! You should only fill to half way up the indicator window.

Are compressors without oil better?

USE ONLY 20W40 or 50 MINERAL....

You have a sight glass then you don’t need to measure how much oil you put in. Besides, you don’t have to tilt the whole compressor to drain the oil. The drainage hole is already put at the lowest level.

Did ther Motorkote additive quit down the compressor ??????

Thnax Jimmy

It’s cold ...no no

I just changed my oil for the first time in 15 years after I heard the compressor sounding funny. It came out thick and black at first then runny and clear looking then back to black now my only problem is trying to figure out how much oil to put in it. Lol. So I was watching this video to try and figure that out. Ow well.

I have never owned 20 gallon air compressor daughter bought it for dad God rest his soul and I thought my farm working friend was a little smarter than he was doing the day I picked up he was thinking about it not break the plastic cover round the moter rit looked smart to lay it over but time we got home oil naturally drained out lol again I thought he new better anyways I had to get compressor oil I think I might've over filled I put it all in I haven't plugged it up yet but vehicles are better to low oil than to full do I need drain some out SOME WOMEN R PRETTY DUMB BUT I NEED SOME ONE TO PLEASE LET NO WHERE DO I FILL IT TO
