Wow, something is screwy here. I asked the question because I work on high pressure military nitrogen generators manufactured by Bauer in Norfolk. We used to use CL751 in the HP compressor blocks but around 2007 we were advised to use the CL800. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried it other then Wookie. We have one compressor block with almost 6000 hrs on it and we are still on the original valves. We haven't gone into the block or heads at all and the oil only gets changed every year. The compressor is 16 years old. I was wondering if it is as good on BA compressors as it is in the NGers. I followed Wookies thread with his compressor issues and was really floored when he found out it could be the oil. But you just never know how a new product will hold up until it is used in the field or in Wookies case on a boat. You can't base an overall judgement on the oil with the results of only a few units but Wookies case sure seemed to be compelling.
I was wondering Wookie, what percentage O2 were you compressing when you were making Nitrox with those MAKOs. And why you didn't choose a food grade oil like OmniLub or EZ1000?
