My late father had a 5HP, 60gal DeVilbiss he bought probably 30 or
more years ago; it gets light/medium duty on our ranch. He probably
changed the oil a couple times but not in the last 10 years or so
that I know of. The motor cooked a while back--after a large
painting job--and I installed a new one with a new belt, and changed
out the oil. I did a lot of 'shopping,' but was mostly consider=

and I think by-and-large it's better oil (the old tractors still ge=

the Mustang gets Ford's ubiquitous 5W-20 semi-syn; free from the
dealer). I settled on this:<br>

I pumped the old oil out the top with a vacuum unit and didn't see
any evidence of sludge and, actually I wouldn't expect any since
you're not dealing with combustion byproducts. <br>
