I have OBA york compressor. I do not have an oiler on the system. The compressor just started to make noise like it is low on oil. What oil do I use in the compressor?

I'm not 100% sure about the correct oil, but I used 30W non-detergent

Use 6 to 12oz of 10W-30 and you'll be good to go. :)

It doesn't get trapped in your air/oil separator? Or is that built in oiling for your air tools?

yeah what crash said. petroleum products and compressed air is what makes diesel engines run, its called heat of compression and fuel. mineral oil is what york uses.
