How much oil is required?

You need to use enough oil to ensure whatever you are frying is completely submerged in it.

It works great, but I only use when its a lot of people for a cookout, because you need quite a bit of oil. I buy the 35 lbs jug from Sams, and use a little over half to fry most things.

It has a maximum fill of 3 quarts and has the max fill line stamped in the pan, you can use less depending how much food you're deep frying.

not much. every time you use it you have to put in new oil. about cup full. bit tricky to see oil level when you put in new oil but it's pretty good.

I strongly suggest that you DO NOT use less than the maximum amount of oil. With the bottom heating elements you need a fair amount of oil over them.

the unit is self doesn't require oil, it is battery powered. You will need to lubricate the chain, with chain oil, as used on a chainsaw.

Instructions say the probe needs to be immersed at least 1 inch deep w/o touching the bottom of the pot, so the minimum amount of oil will depend on the size & shape of your cooking vessel.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. Synthetic oil could be around 5k, regular oil around 3k. I usually check my oils color. If it's dark brown I changed it but of its clear to golden than its still good

Hi, no it doesn't need oil. It's a paper media filter. If you got a K&N; aftermarket filter that is cotton filter media, then yes, you would need oil.

Hello William, this fryer takes just shy of 2 1/4 quarts of oil. I'm assuming that you are asking about oil, so I hope this helps.

you do not need too much oil. it actually depends on how much you want to fry. i make sure i have mine at least half filled

I would start with 25 drops of oil. Make sure you do not fill past the tiny glass tubes inside the diffuser bottle because the oil will get into the mechanics of the motor and cause the diffuser to malfunction.

Although I bought this item for filling a Honda EU2000i generator, according to Wikipedia, the B&S 12.5 takes about 40 ounces of oil. DPM, Albuquerque

The manual that came with my new engine says that the engine oil capacity is 26-28 oz.

Mine arrived with a small amount of oil also, but it required more before starting.

I have no idea. The paperwork with it did not mention oiling and I can not find a spot to do so.

It requires almost 2 quarts of oil. As for a 'low fat' diet - it's a "deep-fat" fryer, not much different from any other method of frying I oil.

The oil capacity is 26-28 oz. They recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Please see owner's manual for more detailed information. The weight of oil will depend on the temperature the engine will be operating in. In most cases 10W30 weight oil is used.

Yes you do need to buy engine oil. 5W-30 is recommended. It is easily available in Walmart rather than Lowes or HomeDepot
