Sogyer:
The milky appearance of the oil is due to moisture (water) getting into the oil. I recommend that you drain and change the oil immediately. atmospheric variations (particularly high humidity) will cause this. There are two reasons. First, when the compressor is running, air coming through the air intake will have water particles in it. That moisture in the air slips past the piston rings and accumulates in the crank case. There's no stopping that, but a clean air filter will help. Secondly, while the compressor is running, it tends to heat up. Any moisture that has entered the crank case will vaporize due to the increased heat of operation. When the compressor is shut down, the moisture vapor will condense on the inside walls of the crank case and form droplets which will run down into the crank case oil. When the compressor is started again, the oil agitators at the bottom of the pushrod caps will agitate the oil, thusly mixing the condensed water with the oil causing the milky appearance. Best to check the oil at each start-up, and change it when it gets milky.

WHY DOES A SM75 INGERSOLL RAND COMPRESSOR CUT OUT ON LOW PRESSURE OIL

Low oil pressure. Are you adding a lot of oil. Have you check the oil level. Switch could also be bad.

WILL T21 SELECT OIL WORK IN A MODEL 2475

The solution was easier than I expected. Ingersoll Rand "Select" oil is a synthetic oil recommended by Ingersoll as better than mineral oil. T30 (mdl 2475) and T21 are different styles of compressors. So, yes "select" oil can be used in the Model 2475 compressor.

I have a 2340 2 stage. the tank gets warm when running.also the oil seems to be foaming. When compresser shuts down it makes a loud squeeking sound. Thank you.

First, what type oil are you using. It should be a non detergent, hd 30 weight oil. Also it would be best to use an oil made for air compressors. Synthetic is best but also more expensive. If the oil looks milky it had water in it from condensation forming inside the crankcase. The tank will get warm and even hot depending on the load the compressor in under. The air exiting the HP side is probably in excess of 200 degrees F. Hope this takes care of your questions.

We have Ingersoll Rand Type 30 Reciprocating Air at about 20years old.. what type of oil is used in the crankcase?

Almost all compressors use sae 30, you can buy it labeled compressor oil. The key is compressors use a non detergent oil.

I have a Ingersoll Rand P185 WJD air compressor and I need to know the type and quantity of oil to use.

Do not use 30 wt oil. It will wreak the oil/air seperator filter. Use Ingersoll Rand Pro-Tec fluid. It will hold approx 3 gallons.
