    8-10 Drop Premium Plus

    Is there a way to add 8 to 10 drops of Premium Plus oil to the air compressor for this engine 1B042770? If there is, how would you suggest to go about this?

    Thanks in advance...

    I'm not familiar with the 1.5L Optimax, but, there has to be an air inlet for the compressor and that's where you would add PP to it.

    due to the horizontal orientation of the air inlet hose it is difficult to drip oil into the compressor

    I've had decent luck with a small syringe, put just what you need in it, pull back to get a little air and shove it in the fitting with the air/oil all at once. That little compressor is TIGHT!
