Check the level properly
Use the dip stick or the oil level glass with the machine stopped and level. Both are inexpensive replacement parts if damaged or clouded, and both are available from Force Air.
Use the oil the machine calls for
Compressor oils are formulated for the duty; ordinary motor oil is not a substitute. Contact Force Air for the compressor oil appropriate to your unit.
Watch for oil carry-over
Oil appearing in the air line suggests a pump or filtration issue and should be investigated. Force Air provides compressor repair services if the fault persists.
