Bob: I have used auto airconditioner  and other compressors for vacuum
pumps
and you nead a small oil input to prevent burn out. I use an oil input
to
the vacuum side through a small tube silver soldered to the input side.
A
small tube such as a hypodermic needle works well to inject light oil
like
10 wt oil.  Air tool oilers also works.  Oil will collect in the exhaust
so
you should have a catch can to stop an oil mess .

	How much oil is needed and how do you tell when you have enough?
