I have some sitting in the shed in a bucket. What do I do with it ? Take it to a auto place?. What type of oil is it?. Thanks

I don't know what kind of oil they use for the compressor but i do know it's suitable for a waste oil fired hot air furnace.
That's how some of the repair garages around here heat their shop in the winter.
Our Freon removal guy pumps out both the oil and the Freon with his rig. He was saying that the oil he collects goes back to the shop for heating as well.
Refrigeration compressor oil, if the oil is clean and unburnt I keep a gallon on hand for oil top up's and oil changes on my air compressor.
Depending on the manufacture, compressor could be either a synthetic or mineral oil, the latter has been the choice for refrigeration compressors and air, makes for a good cutting oil when drilling metal or using the metal lathe.
When I had the waste oil hot water boiler I used any and all types of oil for fuel. The boiler was a PITA, required a supply of compressed air and the filters needed constant cleaning. Many times would come out to a cold shop because the burner had shut down during the night.
