Yeng Hong oil and filter

Might I suggest 1 thing. Plug your water pump and compressor into an appropriately sized power strip. When you power up the strip your water pump will immediately run and begin to circulate coolant, when ready start your compressor and fill your gun or bottle. When you're done you can stop your compressor but the water pump will continue cooling until you turn off the power strip. You will never forget to start your water pump this way.

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.

Appreciate all the information everyone gave on oil types and purchasing sources in this thread. 

I bought some of the Ebay Mobile Rarus, $22 for 12 oz. Not real comfortable with it though. Came in an unlabeled used flimsy water bottle, surprised it didn't crack in shipping. Nothing to guarantee it's not cooking oil with a 20x mark up.

Will by a quart from Nuvair in future. Might be $50 with shipping but at least you know what you're getting (plus 32 oz Nuvair versus 12 oz Ebay); after a couple oil changes just as cheap in the long run.

How much oil does this compressor go through? IE, how ling would 9 or 10 OZ last?

edit to add...found some other type of full synthetic air compressor oil.

Powermate Px P018-0084SP 100% Full Synthetic Air Compressor Oil

Would this be a suitable alternative?

I am using synthetic dive compressor-oil CL-581815-LQ

I did the first oil change at 2.5 hours and don't plan to do another until 15 to 20 hours.

MOBIL 827 Rarus 12oz Oil 4500 PSI Extreme HIGH Pressure Yong Heng Air Compressor | eBay

This is very special and expensive oil but well worth it on the "Cost Effective" side of the equation. This oil is one of the most expensive on the market with 5 gallons costing as much as your whole Yong Heng compressor does.
