Gardner Denver offers a complete line of compressor oils. Each one is application specific. All I am aware of are under the trade name AEON. Small recip compressors use AEON ACHC Rotary Screws may use AEON 4000, AEON 8000, AEON 8000 SP There are many others as well. There is a distributor locator on the Gardner Denver home page. Contact your local person and I am sure they would be happy to help.

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!
You need oil in the compressor just as you need oil in your engine. If there is no oil, it will lock up and seize internally. yes it can cause damage to the bearings in the compressor. The unit has oil in it to lube
Hydraulic rock drills or drifters need a lubrication of the front part (rotation gears, bushings) as well as pressurization of the percussion chamber (in order to avoid dust or water to penetrate in it and cause damages).This lubrication and pressurization is usually done with a mix of oil and compressed air.This pressurized drifter front head is well distinct from the flushing air inlet which send the compressed air in the drill steel for the flushing.But in some cases, the seals are damaged and the oil + air mix can enter in the drill steel.Check the front seals at shank adapter level, depending on the drill brand and quality they can fail or wear.source: roxar drifters
Oil
No oil in compressor - wether it works or not, it still needs that special ac oil -
This is an oiless compressor; it requires no oil at all.
Yes if the compressor has oil in it, drain it out and measure what comes out. A good general rule is about 3-5 oz to put in the new compressor. Make sure to put it directly in the suction side(low side) of the compressor and turn it about 10 times .
