I have the option of taking home an older Emglo Stationary Compressor unit that was taken out of service for a Dry Sprinkler System in our shop. I know it's not rated for higher pressure or even volume, but I was thinking about keeping in my garage as a tire filler that would save me from having to run my 5HP 2 stage unit just to fill tires or other low volume/pressure uses.
My question is this from all of you outdoor/unheated job site users who also run oil-lubed compressors for work, since it's a regular oil lubed pump, how cold can it get before Winter temps really affect its performance or even usage in my unheated garage?
Would running the newer Synthetic Oils meant for compressors help this little guy out in the Winter. Belt driven, 1/2HP motor complete with a belt guard.
Model F unit
