What Oil Do Experts Recommend For A Benjamin Recharge?

[BabySherman]

I was told Royal Purples dye is no good for compressors, and that was my choice. I just wanted to gather a general consensus on options before I run this. And do I do a flush run? Like run it an hour then replace the oil? 

Sorry for the dumb questions. I just dont want to mess this up.

I'm using 'Powermate PX P018-0084SP 100% Full Synthetic Air Compressor Oil' which I picked up off Amazon. I normally don't start any 'engine' off with synthetic until after break-in, but a compressor is different and there was no prohibition in the user manual.

I saw no appreciable color change of the oil, but I did my first change at 2 hours of use. Looking in the pan at the drained oil I did see little sparkly flecks like bits of break-in metal so I'm glad I changed it. I'll probably do another short change after the next 2 hours, and then go onto a more standard schedule. Oil is cheap, relatively speaking.

Read the reviews on Amazon. I don't trust any reviews 100%, but I did a lot of web research and decided on Royal purple for my recharge. Only used it to fill my Dreamline bullpup once, but I'm confident that I made the right choice.
