I would use your compressor to push air into my SCUBA tanks for *more
portable* compressed air to fill tires, but also for underwater breathing.

My present two-stage compressor reaches about 10 MPa, but gives air the
smell of crankcase oil.  I have tried medical mineral oil, and a bronze
and charcoal filters in series, but the oily smell is still there.

What filter would you, as a trained chemist, recommend to remove oil vapors?

Gene.
