I am going to benefit from this question and answer thread.I too have the same aversion to standing over the top of the compressor.Easy solution.Thanks Humdinger!

Thank you for the valuable input guys.I did purchase the Mobil 827, seemed a little pricey but in the world of $2000 airguns what the heck plus if it increases the life and reliability of the compressor then it will pay dividends down the road.I also purchased the tank connector with the check...

I am in the process of setting up my newly acquired YH compressor and want to do it right the first time.I noticed that opinions differ in many aspects of maintenance and operation of these compressors.Apparently there are a number of ways to skin the cat. After sorting through a lot of good...

In their latest Operation Manual Yong Heng recommends using Mobil 827/829 or equivalent.It is designed specifically for high pressure compressors.

It is interesting to see the different opinions on servicing the YH compressors.According to the latest YH Operation Manual under section 5- Maintenance -it states to make the first oil change at 50 hrs. and afterwards at 100 hrs. or annually.Also the recommended oil is Mobil 827/829 or equivalent.

There is a seller on Ebay ( bmw-repair) that is offering 12 oz bottles of the Mobil Rarus 827 specifically for the YH compressors.With tax comes to about $21 .As tracker stated Yong Heng now recommends this oil per the owners manual.

Same as some other old timers mentioned -Daisy Model 25.I was 5, pictured here on the left with my older brother in1959.We got them for Christmas that year.Those cellophane packages of BBs Lightload mentioned cost a nickel.You could tell a kid owned a 25 because they always had a blood...

Great idea,I will make one of these-Thanks

FWB 124 Sport .San Rafael vintage.I acquired this rifle after a close friend passed away about 2 years ago.He was the original owner and we both purchased 124s at the same time.I sold mine years ago but he held on to his where it ended up as a safe queen.The gun was seldom shot and is in near...

Thats a nice looking pistol ,looks to be in great shape,impressive accuracy.I am looking forward to getting mine repaired and shooting some of the more current pellet weights.

Welcome from a fellow Texan.I am originally from Arlington but retired to the hill country near Burnet 16 years ago.I have been away from the forum for the past couple of years due to some major health issues so a bit of a newcomer here myself.I still have some airgunner friends up near you.If...
