Right Oil for Your airbrush Compressor
Talking about the home made airbrush compressor for airbrush we don’t have to speculate that much as nobody’s compressor has broken by the choice of oil yet it might cause issues with overheating and therefore impact the amount of time spent airbrushing. So the question is “Which oil to use?” Here’s what I’m going to recommend.
Factory that makes those compressors fills them up with Freon or some people call it compressor oil. Doesn’t matter how we’re going to call it, to be exact it is mineral oil. This means that this oil does not have any additional chemical ingredients. That is ok as far as it is used in closed environment so there is no external factors that might impact its characteristic. But we’re going to use it for our purpose – airbrush, where the situation is significantly different. The environment is not closed anymore – it is opened, full of oxygen, dust, humidity… etc.
Mineral oil in these conditions is losing its properties really fast. That causes compressor to overheat, raises noise level, and causes damage up to point where the compressor is broken… even with the right amount of oil. Not mentioning that air that we use for airbrush will be full of oil vapors.
Motor oil compared to mineral oil is solving these issues as it has bunch of additional ingredients that will compensate or even remove all factors that affect the quality and life of the oil. Motor oil is made to be used in more aggressive environment as in airbrush compressor so it can last much longer. Good motor oil has more classifications, for example I use semi-synthetic 10W40 as I have some left after I changed oil in my car. You can use mineral or semi-synthetic oil with different indexes but I would not recommend using synthetic oil.
