Re: Can you put to much oil in compressor

Mine has a sight glass and marks for proper level. If no glass, maybe there is a plug on the side that you fill until it starts leaking out, similar to a lot of differentials.

If you have a manual for the thing, check what type of oil it uses. Mine recommends a special compressor oil. Bad news is that oil was about $20/qt. Good news is a total change used less then half the quart. Based on the manual's recommendation of changing every 100 hours of running, I should be good for many more years.
