What type of oil to use in a Sanden for OBA?

Rogi · 04-07-2005, 12:19 PM

I think I remember reading somewhere that 10w30 was ok. Are they really picky as far as oil?

Thanks

How about air conditioning oil!

Slick 50 works real good and has a hard time atomizing into the air.

I've always ran air compressor oil through mine - it's still just as cheap as regular oil, fully synthetic (no deposit buildup). You can get it at home depot.

That would mean having to go out and buying some

Let's see if anyone else chims in....if not I'll hold off on the motor oil.

JeepCrawler98 - Didn't think of that

Gonna pick some up today.

Just use 10/30wt engine oil. NO SYNTHETIC OIL.
It will atack the colesing filter
