Want to drain/change compressor oil, but there’s no outlet

air-compressorcompressortools

I have an air compressor; the brand was supposedly Karson but it's actually a rebranded Fiac compressor. I wanted to change the oil; but I realized that it has a window-level, no actual dipstick and also there is no oil outlet. I feel like I'm being trolled.

See the pictures for reference.

If there's a window, you don't need a dipstick.

If there's no lower outlet, open the inlet and turn it over. Or, suck it out (auto parts stores typically have something for doing that.)

Compressor oil changing does not need to be especially convenient as it's relatively infrequent, and the scale of compressor you show is not impossible to turn over by hand - so, no drain plug = one less place to leak, not "trolling"
