Hi again

Trying to figure out what oil to put in my Whipple but I am not sure what to go with or what type of Whipple I have.

I purchased it used so I don't know if its an older Lysholm compressor and I can use 5-50 wt oil or if its a newer version Whipple compressor and have to use Motorcraft or GM oil?

Is there any way of telling the two apart so I can ID it ?

Thank you

Stu

hammeron

a picture or serial number would help. i use motorcraft XL-4.
google around for best price.

Thanks Hammeron , the only number I could find was stamped on the base of the main blower which is 687090

Photo attached, many thanks

Damn sorry it came out sideways.

hammeron

it looks like my whipple, i think you would be fine with the XL-4 or
a GM equivalent.

Outatime

Thats great thanks, will be ordering some tomorrow.

same as mine too!....XL-$ is what I will use if needed in the future......or if I ever get that Whipple belt drive by Steeda..
