Is there anything proprietary about the gauge on a Daystate LC110? I need to replace mine.

Mine has been puking out its goo and making a horrible mess. I'm also worried that some of that goo may get into my gun, although I've been told it wont. But I've been assured of a lot of stuff recently that has turned out to be a disappointment at best.

I'm also concerned about how black the oil had got. I changed it at 5 hours as required, but then at 16 hours the oil started getting real dark. This week my Ex looked at it and said he sure wouldnt turn it on, but he's a Harley guy, and not a compressor guy.

I recieved new oil today and he changed it for me. Just shy of 20 hours and the oil looks like oil I have seen taken out of my car after a year.

The oil that shipped with my compressor was coltri oil 157, but everything I've read said it should be coltri oil ce750. I dont know what to think about that.






 
My uneducated guess/thoughts

You can't remove the governor on your car, paint a race stripe down the center and bouta boom bouta bing you now have a race car. 

I believe there is more involved to ask a product to do something outside of it's original design. I believe if the application changes then new rules/instructions are warranted. At a minimum maybe the oil needs to be changed at a shorter interval?

I kinda suspect this is a Sales Team product and very little consultation from the Engineering Team has taken place and we may be Beta Testers in uncharted territory?

Great advice, might as well start a customer relationship with Nuvair, may need parts or service from them in the future. 

Nuvair has some great wrenching video's, several that I hope to never have to perform. Forget the other oil change video's you have seen, here is the way to do it :)

The Daystate letter that came with my 2 weeks old 3 stage LC110 says 15-20 hours between oil changes after the initial 5 hour change, AOA confirmed that via email. The "Coltri MCH3 low consumption" manual says 50 hours, so Daystate is on the conservative side which is fine.

Daystate and AOA said to use 330 ml of the recommended oil (manual says 300). I used a 500 ml plastic graduated cylinder $8 from Amazon to measure with and it came to top line on dipstick. Over or under filling causes a number of problems, insure it is within the dipstick levels. On mine the oil level in the sight glass is near the bottom when the dipstick says it is full (AOA confirmed this is ok). The first time I filled mine to the middle of the sight glass it was way over on the dipstick so I had to drain some oil.
