  • RYOBI Compressors require a synthetic oil SAE-30, commonly found in small petrol engines such as lawn mowers - it needs less than 1 litre for topping up.
  • You can put too much oil in an Air Compressor, so it’s important you put in the right amount of oil.
  • Too much oil is just as damaging as not enough, so check that the oil is at the right level.
  • Ensure your unit is secure, sitting on a level surface.
  • The Oil Fill Hole Cap can be found at the front of your Air Compressor. 
  • Using a long-necked funnel to assist in the pouring process will make the job of adding oil into the Air Compressor a lot cleaner and easier. 
  • Check the level of the oil as you add it via the viewing window found below the Oil Fill Cap of the Compressor. 
  • The correct amount of oil is when it reaches the red dot in the oil viewing window, located in the front of the pump.
