+recommended minimum temp to operate oil lube air compressor

   / +recommended minimum temp to operate oil lube air compressor #11  
With the oil that came in my CH compressor, anything below 32dF and it would pop the breaker on start up. I replaced the oil with a 5-30 synthetic and I have run it with no issues at 15dF. Below that... I won't be in the unheated garage.

Or a synthetic air compressor oil.
I start mine at some quite cold temperature, it has run at zero F before.
ok good, as i mentioned, i use recommended syn oii. forget whether 10-30 or 30w Mobil 1. as Spyderlk mentioned, prob could also be frozen moisture in system.
guess i'll stick with pre heating pump head when ambient temp is below freezing
apologize for overthinking, just precaution. good holiday to you all
