Uses about half of a 48 oz. bottle. Only complaint is paint on temp knob wears off by second use. Otherwise it works great.

You just add it to the water. I usually do 5 to 10 drops. If the oil you're using is particularly strong you might want to be conservative with it.

i use synthetic oil and change it at 8,000 but you can go 10,000 miles with synthetic .

I'm using 30 weight oil. The unit is NOT a 2 stroke engine that burns a mix of oil and gas. The oil is for lubrication only.

So do I. I do not know. Tool still starts well and works good so I just work around the excess oil. Better a tad too much than not enough.

I found somewhere in the literature that it recommends you use 2-3 drops of oil per 100 ml of distilled water. That's what I use. Hope that helps.

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.

For pure essential oils, I personally use 1-2 for a three hour setting. A little goes a long way. Hope this helps!

On the pkg. it says to go to natures-oil.com for safety & uses. I just know you don't need very much at all. I have not gone to that website yet.

did you put in too much oil? if you overfill, you can't do it-- need to leave a lot of head space...

There is no definitive way to decide when your oil needs changing. Generally...every 7-10 uses. I refrigerate my oil (peanut), and depending on the visible "cloudiness" of the oil usually change it out every 8-10 uses.

You'd be okay with one quart. But 2 would be closer to the ideal mixture of 20 percent. Or even 1.5 I would say 1.5 that way you could just dump 6 qts of oil in and take the guesswork out.

That would work, I don't measure anymore, I put less oil if I'm dieting and more when I want it more flavorful.

I have a small bottle of lubricating oil that I use for my hand gun. Use very little, works like a charm. A lot cheaper than olive oil!

I use 3 in 1 oil myself. A good grade of gun will work also. Remember, it is to prevent rust and corrosion and help with a little bit of lubrication on the blade and sheath.

Just worked it out , you will need 3,( 48 oz oil recipe yields 70.94oz) , you can recalculate to make sure its ok .

Hi, I returned the fryer so I do not have the exact dimensions but I know it required at least 60 ounces of oil for each fry. It worked okay but felt like it was a lot of oil and felt sick after a few trials of fried things. I think supposed to reuse oil at least once or twice. Just not for us.
