You're quite welcome. I didn't even catch the 'made in USA;' I assumed
it was German, what with 'Kompressor.'
I needed a little less than a half-gallon. Since I don't know what was
in the pump, and I didn't drain/clean it all that well I figure I'll run
for a year or so, then change it out one more time then never again.

<div> My late father had a 5HP, 60gal DeVilbiss he bought

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
