YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR MAY NEED AN OIL CHANGE...HERE'S HOW TO DO IT!!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After all the old oil has drained, clean the area around the oil plug opening with a rag. Replace the drain plug and tighten it securely with an adjustable wrench, being careful not to overtighten. Then, carefully pour the new synthetic blend air compressor oil into the fill opening. Fill slowly until the oil level reaches the top of the opening, as the exact capacity may not be known. Once filled, replace the oil cap. To ensure accurate record-keeping for future maintenance, use an industrial-strength permanent marker to write the current date of the oil change directly on the compressor's tank. Additionally, label the new synthetic oil bottle with the date it was opened and the quantity used for future reference.

Goal: Replenish the air compressor with new synthetic oil and record the maintenance.
