I know the manual for my new compressor suggests straight 20 or 30 weight 
motor oil.  But I'm wondering if anyone has another preferred case oil for 
their compressor.  I need an oil light enough to contend with outside 
winter temperatures.

I've heard that Marvel Mystery oil works and have even had Mineral Oil 
suggested.

Your thoughts, please.
