Once broken-in I would use synthetic compressor oil but really depends on how hard you use it. What I use was a 100% synthetic compressor oil manufactured by DuBois Chemicals. But this was an Industrial setting and our compressors ran almost all the time until break times ro end of the shift. This was a 390 compressor 20hp.
