would this work with oil instead of grease? I have a old milling machine with grease fittings but calls for oil.

I have done that to another grease gun before. You would probably have to improve the seal on the plunger so that the oil wouldn't leak out. Hopefully no one ever pumped grease into those fittings on your machine.

I do not believe this system would work with oil!!! The pump and seals are designed to work with a heavy grease. I believe the oil would run out and spray everywhere. I don't have a solution to your problem at this time. It is very unusual for something that requires oil to have grease fittings. I would recommend that you try to find some old instructions for your machine and see if it had a different lubrication system or used a very light grease. This gun will pump almost any type or grade of grease, but I believe oil is just too thin!!!

Thank you for asking. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that this grease gun can be used for the fittings on a semi tractor or trailer. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you.

Yes it will. I would recommend grinding it as dry as possible. You don't want to put anything wet or oily into your mill because it will clog up the milling heads.

This is a two cycle all purpose motor oil so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't, but you might want to contact the manufacturer just to be on the safe side.

I am not sure. I do use this oil with a fun time popcorn machine. Works great and not a lot of oil used.

I don't know what the right oil to use is but I used heavy duty gear oil. Mine leaks too but I don't use it enough to worry about. For the price, I'm quite happy with it.

Yes, it is needed to buy engine oil before you can run the machine. I used 5W-30 engine oil.

Should work well for you. See my review from an earlier purchase. I am on my second oil change with this product. The only thing that might be better in some respects are some of the new "AA" series LM oils.

There are better lubes for PTO applications. A good grease would probably be better.. but.. in a pinch, if it were going to sit connected and idle for long periods.. it would probably work just fine.

The only part that need to be oil is the chain, it will self oil. Use regular chain oil

This is food grade grease, designed for gears and slides...I don't think they are the same thing.

We used some Kendall utility oil that my husband has had for a long time and put a little bit on each of the bearings. Worked very well. I imagine any kind of general purpose oil would work....like sewing machine oil.

Why not....? If the engine is lubricated with oil, it'll work. All it does is coat the bearings with a teflon protectant. I use it in everything I own. It's nota "CURE-ALL" and "junk is junk," but it will help protect and prolong an engine's inner workings. Good luck.

I finally got around to pulling out the manual on the jack hammer. They send a bottle of oil and applicator with the unit. I don't know what type is in it. The manual says to use Shell Oil, ROTELLA #40, engine oil.

I have their ProForm brand treadmill which is oil-based lubricant. Purchase it back in 2009 in England

I don't think Kitchenaid makes this grease. It is a food grade high temp grease. I am quite sure you can do a little bit of web searching to find the same grease in a smaller container to repair your mixer. The thing is the time your mixer will be out of commission while waiting for replacement. It will come quick from Amazon, but it will be way, way more than you need.

I used a good, high quality wheel bearing grease. By the way, they're working well! I hope that helps Kevin!
