Thanks for the upload. We have two compound compressors on the locomotive we are restoring here in Houston,TX Southern Pacific 982 with Texas Railway Preservation Association. We had just went through the two compressors last week during our work session. Same things your doing is what we just did. But hopefully we can get a shop to completely tear down the locomotive get everything done.
Interlube Corporation's products are actually better, and cost slightly less. I've done and been responsible for several side by side comparisons. The result was that the Interlube Corporation's "Journal Guard 1200 and 2400" resulted in lower axle bearing temps than PB&J 220 and 460 respectively. Temps were cataloged for several weeks, same train, same ambient temps, about 23 degree lower bearing temps.
This info should be used by all to improve the life of the compressor. This guy is one of thee best in the country.

Would be delighted to help with the project, that's a hell of a machine!
Stuff reminds me of Petro-Glide 100 oil that we deliver to saw mills.
No PB&J oil? Green Velvet 220

@@thatsteamguy1082 Good to know! Last I knew PB&J was the gold standard in our area. I think 3-4 years ago it was $2300 or there about a barrel
Yeah, I had long believed that too until I did some impromptu side by side testing
Jason...excellent video, but would be much better without that nasty green bar running down the middle of it...I'm just sayin'.
Green bar?
