Can I use this same Tanaka oil for the hitachi leaf blower RB24EAP ?

As far as I know you can use any 2 stroke oil in any engine you mix fuel and oil

You sure can. This oil makes an excellent mix for any two stroke engine that requires an oil/fuel mix. I always try to make sure and get gasoline that does not have ethanol in the blend. Ethanol is not good for small engines. If you must use gasoline that has 10% Ethanol in the blend then make sure to add a fuel stabilizer. This will prevent corrosion to the engines internal parts.

Yes, this is essentially pure petroleum that can be used in any application where motor oil is used. Try this or try running Mobil 1 High Mileage in your generator. That made a world of difference in my father's generator.

The chain oiler works well on this little unit. I even use the same oil (standard bar oil) in the saw that I use on my gas saw and no problem. This Makita electric saw is well worth the money!

Yes you can use T-55 or any oil based chemical. Yes I got the manual. You should be able to find it online.

You may be right. All I have used is the same oil. It was so cheap I will keep using it.

Yes. there are quite a few other type of bits available that will fit the Hitachi.

I have used some of them on my St_hl: blower, tiller and edger. Not an easy job though, in retrospective I should have just bought a new KM set. The trimmer attachment does not work (reverse rotation).

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

shot in the dark...but i would say no. superficially they are both a lube, but machine oil (mineral oil) doesnt have the same properties as an air line oil, which i would suspect that this is.

Yes, it works with all oil heads as they are called 2002 - 2004. All the same engine.

Based on the Makita manual any straight weight (non-detergent) oil such as SAE 10W, 20W or 30W is acceptable, last I checked this oil is available almost everywhere. The determining factor for which oil to use is dependent on temperature. From page 12 of the owners manual: -16C TO 0C (3.2F - 32F) = SAE 10W, 1C TO 26C (33.8F - 78.8F) = SAE 20W, ABOVE 27C (80.6F) = SAE 30W Just got off the phone with Makita Tech Support (800-462-5482) and inquired about the filters. The air filter (element) part number is 171006-E. According to Tech Support Home Depot either carries them or can special order. After searching the part number online, several sites carry them but they are pricey at about $20 + shipping. Since it looks very similar to other gas powered mower filters it might be worthwhile to remove the filter and bring it along to see if any big box stores have one that is dimensionally the same.

Green doesn't help me much. Hitachi isthe brand I have and the Tanaka cutting head does not fit it. I will also add that I am very pleased with it's performance after 2 years. It is green also for what that's worth. I decided it was just time to move on.

I'm sure it would work fine. I have used it to drain oil from my vehicles, Kubota tractor and all my other garden equipment engines. The suction is excellent and all of the different size "straws" that come with the unit will work with just about any machine. Gear oil is light so you'll have no problem. Obviously warm oil will drain better so I always evacuate oil after running the machine. Good luck. I'm thrilled about buying this machine since I use synthetic oil in my cars - it's paid for itself many times over already.

You absolutely can use it. That being said there are likely better choices for gasoline turbo engines. This is a heavy duty diesel engine oil. Oils like pennzoil platinum, quaker state full synthetic, even mobil 1 has a 5w40 made just for your car and in my opinion give better protection but I use rotella 5w40 in my motorcycle, 4 wheeler, diesel pickup, diesel tractor and love it.

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.

I ran a small engine repair shop for 25 years and I am using my leftover Stihl bar and chain oil, but I am sure any oil labeled for chainsaw bar and chain would work just fine. Hope this helps.

This oil is for use in a lawnmower, generater, anything 4 cycle, I called the company and they told me , this oil performs better the hotter the oil got,and service life is 3x longer on this oil than regular oil, I think it is detergent, Sae 30
