Two stage air compressor oil
First stage is to clean, lubricate and remove heat from the moving parts in the compressor.
Second stage to cool down the oil so it can do first stage again.
But wheres the oil pump, There is'nt one the air moves the oil in a two stage compressor so the oil will foam up if you dont use a nonfoaming or a two stage compressor oil.
This will over heat the moving parts.

No!, you must use the oil specified in the owner's manual of that particular compressor. You failed to mention the type of compressor, the make, model, etc. E. g, different automobile compressors (for air conditioning) even take different (viscosity) oils. Some compressors must NOT have oil, and are lubricated by other methods. If you put oil in an oxygen compressor, you may have a fire and/or explosion.

NO!
Im not sure what 2 stage means but I know you cant replace compressor oil with motor oil. Motor oil will destroy any rubber seal in the compressor.

You probably won't find the viscosity that is needed for your second stage of your compressor. These typically use a turbine grade oil and if you use motor oil, you might wreck your compressor.
