Do I have to use something like this?

Or will a good syn motor oil work? (guessing not)

Engine oil will function in a pinch, but it is not the same and will sludge and varnish in a compressor.



If you think that's expensive, you should see the $175 a gallon synthetic rotary screw oil I use in PTO drive compressors.
