I use a 3in1 oil as its thin.....the Aldi air compressors wont be to fussy abouy oil as they are only rubber diaphram affairs and are very unlikely to be piston units...

The Aldi air compressor has a piston, connecting rod, crankcase and a crank.

So does that mean it will be fussy about what oil you put into it?
