Vacmaster pump oil

[Ucsdryder]

Probably time to change the pump oil in my vp230. What’s everyone using?

Pretty sure this is what was recommended by Vacmaster when I bought mine. I'll verify when I get home, though.

How often should it be changed?

If the oil starts looking discolored at all, especially if it looks milky change it out. I also change it after any large processing job. Not changing oil is the biggest pump killer I’ve seen over the past 30 years with customers and vac pumps. Oil is cheap compared to a new pump.
