I'm a new here and to airguns, I've been in the rabbit hole for almost a month, I just bought a Benji Bulldog and Avenger bullpup and had no idea what compressor to get. Settled on the YH after much research, landed here and took your advice to research the previous thread on this topic, very helpful. My understanding is you need oil that's:
-iso vg46 or aw46 ( as the YH tells you)
-For High pressure with high flashpoint
* High Pressure Breathing Air compressor oil, used in compressors to fill scba tanks has that flashpoint.
I found this one on Amazon from Compresses Air USA:

Sounds perfect for this YH based on other reviews on various sites, many use it for scuba and paintball air. Business is family owned, I spoke to them today to get it faster than Amazon would deliver if I reviewed them, very nice folks.
NOTE: HPBA is nontoxic vs the Royal Purple, Husky and other oils folks have recommended for the YH or compressors that aren't 2 stage 'dive compressors'. THOSE ARE WRONG, they don't have the same vg 46 rating and they're for compressors that use a different vg and flashpoint. It matters
Theres a Shell Corena oil that was recommended here and another place that also is breathable, just don't know enough myself based on researcg. Bauer works, there are others with the high flash point at iso vg 46 that I found online with small diving, scuba and medical stores that had reviews (Bauer was on under water hydraulics site). I don't know everything that works or doesn't but
oil saying its BREATHEABLE AIR OIL for high pressure is simple dead giveaway usually in what to look for because some of the oils you search will say it's not recommended for Breathable air compressors, which is what the YH is probably used for more than anything.
I know there's other bargains but I got the 100$ gallon because I was tired of looking and my guns will arrive soon.
This is my thought reading you more experienced members posts. Thankyou and I hope this helps. And feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
