How many gallons of oil does each side use? I want to be sure this will handle the volume job I need it to do.

It says on the shipping container 2.7 Gal. each side. More realistic figure is 2.5 Gal per side without being to full. hope this answers your ? ...

I buy a 5 gallon container and use about 3/4 between both sides. That brings it about 4-5 inches from the top. I do that so it doesn't overflow and cause a fire when I put whatever I'm frying into the hot oil. I still use mine and an loving it. I have fried up to 50lbs of fish and fries at one time.

there is a fill line in it . a full line and a minimum line. takes just under a gal of oil. when you get the book on it it tells you.

We didn't fill the whole thing. We pulled the sponge out, used a small funnel, and dribbled the oil in. Then we replaced the sponge. We weren't going to use it more than an hour or so. We just kept checking that there was still some oil. We did add a little more. (We have BIG chainsaws, and they fill easily--because everything on them is bigger).

Grey Beard makes another pump model called The Baron, which is designed for oil. That model should work for your need.

I mixed it one gallon of booster to 10 gallons of hydraulic oil. It worked great. Different mixtures for different applications. I used mine in the hydraulic sump on a tractor.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

Mix 1 gallon of Remedy with 4 gallons of diesel. I usually cheat a little and only mix 3/4 gallon of Remedy to 4 of diesel. Still works fine.

i used two gallons and you can recycle the oil once your done for either half a year or i would say no more than 6 time when it starts turning brown switch out

If you need oil use 10w. A brand called zoom spout works great Grainger industrial supply sells it

Not sure but friends using 450watt. if u want it to handle more power(800-1000watt+), epoxy resin coat inside of box,its what we did. Sounds better too. A gallon will do(.5 gal a side), but u have to do each side seperately to coat it all the way

Only use it with a few drops of oil. 4-8 max. It will go almost a full workday.

I use a hitachi EC510 model. 6 gallon capable of working! !!! 2 guns. I use this fir my coil roofers as well. Best lil compressor you can buy. Just look at the customer ratings. Of course one can save money buy getting a throw away from harbor freight. Trust those red portercable lookalikes from H.F. are pretty darn reliable. The name escapes me but just walk into the nearest HF and you'll see it it's like 60$ + tax. So if your only doing smaller jobs thus will get you going fine

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.

This engine takes 28 OZ (ounces) you will have 4 oz left out of a full quart bottle. I use 10w-30 Maxlife or any other high quality oil. I hope yours works better than mine did.

The best answer is, I don't know for sure. But I will say my truck holds twenty seven gallons and I use an entire small bottle (12oz. or 14oz. I think) in that twice a year. It still runs like new. I have checked the original spark plugs about a year ago (at 130,000 miles), and they were in very good condition so I did not change them. The first "tune-up" was due at 90K. As far as the engine, I substitute one quart of oil for one quart of Marvels Mystery Oil. If you car holds say four quarts of oil. then maybe three and a half oil and 1/2qt MMO. Remember, it is acting as a detergent first and foremost, and a little does a lot. I am not sure if you read about my son's Nissan 350Z engine that was part of Nissan Quality Control test, he got a new engine in exchange for hia that had about 90K on it. We have been using MMO in every oil change. They called him after taking apart his engine, it looked brand new they said, and asked what he was doing to keep it that way. He mentioned the MMO at every oil change and they said, great, keep doing that it works. I have myself been using it for years since a child when my father was rebuilding racing engines. He used it religiously in all his rebuilt engines.

I would suggest a little bigger compressor. 3gal will function but it may run more than you would like
