  • Air compressor help

    I have a cheap Chinese made northern tool house brand compressor that is having some issues. It was running perfect until after the oil change. Original oil I was running was Mobil 1 synthetic auto oil. I switched to Ingersoll rand compressor oil. Now when I run it, I can see the oil start to foam up in the oil level window. Plus it's spewing oil out the breather vent cap. Wtf could be wrong?

      isn't it only supposed to fill half that circle? Change the oil again too. Seems relatively minor.

        I did only fill it to half way in the oil window circle, but to get to that point it took 2 pints which seemed like a shit load. Fucking Chinese pos doesn't have any specs with it or anything to tell you how much the oil capacity is.
