Where do you put oil in air compressor?

The location of the oil fill port on an air compressor varies depending on the make and model. However, it's usually clearly marked with an oil can symbol or the word "OIL".

You'll typically find it in one of these locations:

* On top of the tank: This is common for larger, tank-style compressors.

* On the side of the motor: Often near the motor's crankcase. This is more common in smaller, direct-drive compressors.

* Underneath a cover: Some compressors have a removable cover that needs to be opened to access the oil fill port.

Always consult your air compressor's owner's manual. It will provide a diagram showing the exact location and instructions on the type and quantity of oil to use. Using the wrong oil can severely damage your compressor.
