I *think* that such oil may be for SINGLE stage compressors only.  I seem
to recall reading that somewhere... maybe I'm thinking of something else.
However I'm sure it will be fine.  I chose the Mobil Rarus 427 because it
specifically said it was for MULTIstage compressors (like the York).
Don't ask me what the difference might be.
