This takes oil right?

Yes. It has a non-stick coating but you will want to use oil. I use about a TBL with about 1/3 C popcorn.

I would use only coconut oil, won't go bad and last forever. But I think that this machine is the worst on the market, I have yet to find one that is worth the money or holds up. But this in y opinion is the worst machine that I have ever owned.

I have great success adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of oil (canola, or olive) to about 3 - 4 oz of corn in a small bowl, mixing to coat the corn, then spreading it out in the popper. Usually every kernal pops.

Sure!! If you order this be sure to open it right away. I ordered two and both of them had a slight oil leak. Still Recommend.

That's a good question. I don't know the answer, but I will the next time I change my oil. I'm going to send a sample of my oil to Blackstone Labs and should find out.

yes, no question. Just let it burn for some hours after setting it up to burn off the oils used in manufacture. Just be careful. Regard the other posts -

No, its uses a special type of oil/water thing. I suggest you return them and buy new ones.

Yes it is... filled with oil... I even verified if it was the appropriate amount.. I emptied it.. measured it and returned it to the compressor.

Yes, you can use any synthetic oil designed for this purpose. Never use oils from hydrocarbons.

Unfortunately, it does not. The oil has to be cooled and poured. BUT, still one of the best fryers I've ever used. We do a lot of tailgates, fundraisers, and dinners, frying fish. This moves the frying along!!

I am not the manufacturer and I really do not care what oil is used. If you need the information so desperately contact the manufacture directly and ask, instead of using us to do the work for you. Thank you.

Yes. It comes with a small plastic bottle which is to be filled with your oil, and placed at the bottom of the unit. It is a bear to reach beneath the unit (make sure it's empty of water...) and it's even worse to fill up this plastic bottle with your choice of oil, as the unit's bottle is small as is all essential oil bottles. We've been using the oil, after slowly dropping in the essential oil, and it does work fine. But what a headache!

Yes. Adding oil to a closed, pressurized system is precisely what this tool is designed to do. And, the tool performs well.

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.

NO! This tool DOES require oiling in order to lubricate the O-rings as explained in the Owners Manual and should be run at no more than 85PSI at the tool.

No, you always have to use oil not much though, unless its an airpopper then yes no oil needed.

If it's a 2 stoke engine and it requiredTo mix with gas then yes. It's the bestFull synthetic oil you can buy .Good luck

the oil is to lube the motor just like your car engine if you don't keep the oil level the motor will seize they ship it in bottle because if it was in the pump it will pour out in shipping if the box gets turned upside down or sideways in transit witch it probably would several times so you fill it when arrives I love mine I bought its so small and light compared to my 41 pound unit I have hope that helps you

No, but you will so it continues to run properly. The directions are clear about this. It's not done often but it will need lubrication.....I don't think it requires HYDRAULIC oil. It will tell you in the directions.......Mike
