I probably ran mine harder than most. Normally I would wait until I had one full tank left, then top off the other 3, right in a row... So when I ran it, once every other weekend, I ran it for about an hour straight...

Heard good reports from CS, and wanted to do business with CS, but after multiple attempts to contact you in the past with no luck or call back I gave up.
So, if I'm reading this right - the Daystate LC110 (Coltri MCH-3)..
- Usually needs a valve overhaul at/after 100hours of runtime
- Isn't really built to handle 4500 PSI (and is more like a 3000psi scuba compressor)
.. or am I not processing this information correctly?
I don't have enough hours on mine to comment on longevity. It is rated for 100 minutes continuous, but I don't need to run it much over 10 minutes for my tasks. My plan is to keep the runs brief to avoid higher temperatures, to change oil often and to use warmup and cooldown cycles to distribute lubrication and pump out moisture, and to run it every few weeks to lubricate and discourage corrosion.

This is my current hypothesis and situation as well. ~5.15 HRS in, ~10 minutes per run, one oil change. I'm doing once a ~week run for a bit to expunge any moisture from the system. I still wish I knew why the oil came out green my first oil change but I suspect it's moisture reacting with the copper seals and surface based copper hydroxide.
I'm toying with the idea of once a week pumping into a full tank or dead head to at least let the compressor build pressure/heat/work instead of just "wet stacking".
