[QUOTE="DMC, post: 25403, member: 430"] oil does evaporate, believe it or not. I'm sure plenty of it coated the inside of all pipes and lines and valves. So what? I guess you are getting at oil may be coming out of lines? A little oil is almost everywhere. Helps high speed hand pieces last longer. Keeps my solonoids from sticking as well. I like oil myself. I need the oil in the lines to counter the effects of the water vapor. they go together like.... oil and water? I don't want my crap all rusting away. A good slimey coat of oil is just what the doc ordered in my case. When I was a kid in a local auto-shop. We added oil into the lines and tools to lubricate them to prevent corrosion from water and other garbage. Most mechanics have to buy their own tools. This is what they do. Depends on what you are using compressed air for I guess? Are you blow-drying your hair? Then don't add oil, and try to get the air all super-crazy clean then. Medical compressors are for blowing small amounts of clean air into peoples mouths. Not powering a dental lab. Scott [/QUOTE]
