I would use it, if I had it at hand,,,
it is NOT a 'hydrocarbon' synthetic,,, I call them faux synthetics
 
@Humdinger Do you know anything about compresor oil types?
I have always bought my compressor oil from Filtertechs.com in Florida. They sell quality compressor oil in gallon or quart sizes but with shipping it's cheaper by the gallon as shipping is the same for both sizes. I have had good performance in several compressors I've owned using Seco Lube 500 oil. I know from other's experiences locally that saving money by buying cheaper oil made for shop compressors is a mistake in the long run. Compressor oil should be non detergent and at least ISO 100. Oil prices have increased since I last bought Seco Lube 500 which was $59 a gallon but now is $82.
