RE: high vibration problem in elliot air comp

If you need to use an oil with 32 Cst at 40ÂșC that means an ISO VG 32, you need to select an R&O (Rust and oxidation inhibitor oil) iso vg 32. If you want to reduce the vibration levels I recommend you to use high film strengh lubricants such as Royal Purple oils.
The viscosity ISO 32 have a range between 28.80 and 35.20 cST so you are not in this range, and need to replace the oil.
