not real sure, the oil that comes with it is not a real heavy weight oil. my suggestion is to go to a local auto parts or one of the tractor supply stores. if you have any of the original oil they should be able to help with a substitute.

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

http://www.redlineoil.com/application.aspxRedline has this great feature. Just enter your car information and it'll tell you which oils you can use and what they are used for. As for oil capacity your owner's manual should have that. Or a google search (I can't ssearch for you since I don't know the year nor what you're doing).

Kay, the only oils that should be used are 100% essential oils. No blends that have carrier oils will work very well or at all. Make sure you use distilled water filled to the line that supports the top. Then add about 7 drops of oil.

You can use any popcorn or popcorn oil. This unit works very well and so far is not showing any signs of trouble. I make 2 batches every workday.Paul rothstein

Oil. I use Orville Reddenbacher, but you can use regular vegetable oil, too.

Use an oil made for machine or ball bearing movement like 3-in-1 oil (comes in small container). Olive oil is not good for this purpose, as it will break down over time.

Good question. From what I find you can mix with any of those oils. Should not be used with baby oil or any other mineral oil

It comes with a conventional oil that is pre measured for the compressor. Although the compressor comes empty, so any type of compressor oil could be used. The better the oil the longer it will live if proper maintenance is followed.

I can honestly say not sure if it can be used for oil, but we use ours for maple syrup....and that is at a rolling boil for a long long time and we keep having to use it to check the temp.

YesThis is the best oil you can buy. Will definitely buy more oily if available

I use regular chainsaw oil, any good oil to keep the chain lubricated should be fine.

ONLY use air tool oil, not something like 3in1, etc. Regular oil might "diesel", air oil will not.

You can use any oil. I use vegetable oil in mine and it works great! Stores do sell popcorn oil as well, it just depends on your preference.

Most essential oils should not be used neat (undiluted) because they are so concentrated so you dilute them (the ratio depends on the oil) into a carrier oil. Yes you could use olive oil. Coconut oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, and sweet almond oil are some popular ones but there many out there.

I think you could probably use any popcorn and oil combo. It's not a complicated machine and works just fine with the local popcorn/vegetable oil combo I've tried.

No problem. Standard 5w-30 (no mix) is all it takes. I got mine at WalMart. They also sell synthetic 5w-30. I changed the oil after the first 5 hours. Went with synthetic.

We use Fellowes Powershred Performance Oil CRC35250 in the 12 oz. size. I think 3 in 1 might be too heavy.
