Oil air compressor require more maintenance than other air compressor

  Does your oil air compressor need new o-rings, pressure gauge or even a new motor? Don't worry, we have the parts you need to get your air compressor up and running again in no time. If you don't see what you need, Grainger makes no representations as to the appropriateness, accuracy, completeness, correctness, single cylinder bottom, currentness, suitability, or validity of any product review or statements posted, including those posted by employees with the Grainger employee badge, and is not liable for any losses, injuries or damages which may result from any such product review or statements.

  Oil compressors require more maintenance than oilless air compressor. This is because the oil has to be changed from time to time, depending on the design and the amount it has been used. The user manual specifies how often the oil should be changed. This is not necessary for oil-free air compressors. As with most inventions, the air compressor design has steadily improved over time to eliminate these flaws. The oil-free compressor is designed to prevent any compressor oil from coming into contact with the compressed air. This process results in clean, dry air with no contamination, which is a crucial requirement in certain applications.
  Certain compressor designs, primarily older ones, have a minor flaw.  The statements posted by Grainger employees with the Grainger employee badge represent the views of such employees and are not the statements of Grainger.  This flaw is that compressed air has a tendency to become contaminated with very minute amounts of the lubricating oil. Moreover, Non-Lubricated air Compressors weigh a lot more than oil-less ones of the same design. This is because they have lesser parts. The air compressor cost for the two are also different. As oil-less air compressor has fewer parts, it costs less. The designs are also simpler.
