In a gear driven compressor which is integral to the engine (as is the case with heavy duty trucks), you don't - the motor oil flows through the compressor, lubricating it. That's why it's also a telltale sign that the compressor is bad if you bleed the air tanks and have oil coming out.
Air tool Oil
What kind of air compressor is it? And if it is oil lubricated no!
Yes you can actually and it's much cheaper than using compressor oil that is non detergents. The nice thing about air tool oil is you can use it for up to 7000 hours on the air compressor before needing to chang it.
The main difference between an oil free compressor and an oil flooded compressor is the method of injection to compress the air for mechanical equipment, most common being construction equipment. In the oil free compressor, air is injected with screws while an oil flooded compressor uses oil injected into the holes to create a seal.

Compressor oil ! ( light clear mineral oil)
Yes since the a/csystem also has refrigerate oil in it the oil will drop down to the lowest parts of the system and this can lead to o-ring, compressor and compressor seal failure.......
if your uing air tools on the compressor then you will put one or two drops directly into the inlet where you connect the compressor hose
This is an oiless compressor; it requires no oil at all.
No oil in compressor - wether it works or not, it still needs that special ac oil -
You should not put any oil in a Ford air conditioning compressor. The air conditioning compressor runs on Freon. The system should take about one pound of Freon.
