Kit was recomended for my model.Got this kit and the air filters werent for my model.Also I found the oil locally for $6.00 a Quart.You do the math.

This start up kit was supposed to be for the compressor I bought at the same time(SS5), but it is for another Model. At the time, Northern Tool was the seller. Currently, Amazon is the seller but, the products are still shown mismatched. Just double check that you get the right kit for your model of compressor.

For 2 quarts of oil and 2 filters this is way over priced, however, you would only buy this kit with a new compressor, and that adds 2years to the warranty. So you are really buying oil, filters, and an extended warranty for this price.

If you just need oil and filters, don't buy this kit.

This start-up kit was supposedly shipped with the compressor ordered at the same time. The start-up kit was never received. I used the Amazon site "Contact Seller" messaging 5 times over a two week period trying to get someone at Northern Tool to simply acknowledge my problem, but to no avail! Amazon wouldn't help with the problem until the delivery window quoted by Northern Tool had passed (although it was clear the item had been lost, as all records showed it to have been shipped concurrent with the compressor).
Finally, a month after delivery of the compressor (sans start-up kit) my claim with Amazon resulted in a credit for the kit. Not my typical experience with Amazon or their sellers. So if Northern Tool is fulfilling your order, I hope it goes smoothly. If it doesn't you're likely hanging out to dry for a month until Amazon steps in.

The attorney general should step in here. I paid $40.00 and I received 2 $2.00 filters and 6.00 worth of oil. I have a new Ingersoll Rand ss3 compressor. And over the years I have purchased countless different Ingersoll Rand air tools. I'm great about paying top dollar for quality products, but I am not going to let anybody make a fool out of me. You can bet it will be my last Ingersoll Rand anything. So I hope they enjoy that 400% mark up on that start up kit.

Your going to need oil to fire up your compressor anyway, so why not buy theirs and extend the warranty another year? It's a synthetic oil which explains why two pints and two small filters will set you back 40 bucks.
