What oil does this unit use? Thank you

My preference is to us regular 30 WT non detergent oil. Any inexpensive brand will do.

Use Rotella T1 oil.I purchased this product and it broke before I even used it. It is not worth the money IMO. I replaced it with a Bosch hammer and it is much better quality. The Bosch hammer was about $750.00 though.

I think it's like a straight 30 weight or heavier, anything lighter will run thru too fast.

I use Rotella 40 weight oil found at most Napa stores it's used for Diesel engines mostly also. It recommends that kind of oil in the literature the hammer came with.

I use chain saw bar oil and it seems to work fine but you can also pick up some rotella diesel engine oil

No oil. Mine doesn't require any oil to operate......just to store it in Winter....very important to Winterize the pump or freezing will damage it if water is left in the pump mechanism.

Coolant not oil. I use one for the water/soap solution in my parts washer. I have used similar ones in the past for cars and even a farm tractor.

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

I do not recommend it at all, in fact I returned mine as it was defective. It uses a LOT of oil too.

Hello, You may use 10W30 or SAE 30W , 4 stroke motor oil. You can find this at most auto parts stores or home stores. The engine requires 21oz of oil. Please ensure you do not over or under fill the engine before starting. Should you have any further questions please contact us at 800-791-9458, Thank you, Amerisun Customer Service

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

Mine was too man. However it works perfect. I know I was thinking someone used and returned it. Not the case to. That oil stinks right. The reason is they put oil in it test it then drain but during shipping it gets upside down. Don't worry just put on level surface and add oil

I would contact the company and ask for a replacement if you have had it less than a year. I burned mine out by putting too much moisture into the oil and having it burn out. Bought a replacement and kept the parts from the first one.

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

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

The owners manual should have a page that includes information regarding what weight of oil you need to put in since it depends on your climate. From what I remember 10W30 and or 10W40 work for most places around the world. However, it would be a good idea to snoop around the manual and website for the information. I bought mine awhile ago, broke it in, and have let it set after the break in oil change. I've enjoyed the little bugger so far.

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.

I'm not familiar with the other one but I love the mishimoto. I noticed a good drop in oil Temps even on hot days. Did exactly what I needed it to do!

I've used a lime essential oil and the unit has been fine. I did however have an issue with an orange essential oil as it stained the inside of the unit a bit. Hope this helps!

Unit has a separate air connection where it pushes the used oil out. It also comes with its own drain hose and connection that you attach to drain the used oil into approved containers.

The oil actually came with the Oster unit and is not labeled as far as what type of oil it is but can be used for the unit internally and the blades. If you are using these blades for home use oiling will likely be rare. I have also used an A-1 type oil when I've needed it. My barber has a solution they use after each use that the blades soak in for sanitary purposes and cleaning, I'm sure can easily be found searching on-line. Hope this helps.
