How much oil Do we fill inside.... they give us a big bottle, yet it overfills. The directions give no set amount to fill. Anybody know exactly?

dont know the exact amount but I bought a quart of non-detergent 30 weight and filled it to the level indicator on the filler cap. I have changed oil a couple of times since I bought mine 3 years ago.

I measured the first time and it was 21 ounces. I think it was still too much. The measuring stick is lousy for both, but there is the oil cutoff for low level.

I would say 3/4 of the oil bottle came with it. Run the motor for 1 min then check the oil level and add as required. Hope this will help!

There is an indicator on it. Fill it until it shows as full. There is one oil for the motor and one for the pump on the model I bought. One for pump oil and one for motor oil.

I own this and tested today to see how many drops you need for this to work properly. It took 50 drops! The glass tubing that connects to the bottom of the container (the bottom of the upside down L shape) on the inside has a little hole in it. For this to work properly (you will see mist if working properly although you need to look closely to see the mist) you need to fill the oil over the hole until you see the oil suck up into it. If there isn't any oil in the bottom piece while it is running there isn't enough oil. This is quite a bit of oil to use although once it gets going it will last a while. I haven't tested how long until you need to add more oil. If you are using the same oil each time you only need to top it off but if you start with a new oil you are going to need 50 drops to get it going again.

30 wt motor oil is recommended. The unit leaks like crazy but I just keep a pile of rags in the carrying case. Keep snugging all of the bolts as well.....the vibration keeps working them loose and adding to the leakage. For the price...this thing has taken a severe amount of abuse and just keeps running.....and leaking...love it.

The fryer holds a set amount of oil, there's a fill line. If you overfill the fryer with oil, it will bubble over when you're cooking anything. I've made fries and chips in mine and I don't adjust the amount of oil for any particular type of food; I just fill it to the line. I would guess it's about a quart (4 cups).

fill it no more than half way, a little less is better. pump it with the cap till you feel alot of pressure. it it dosent mist it maybe too full, not enough pressure (you do have to keep it pumped up good) or try changing your olive oil, I use extra light. Hope this helps. I see I got here too late...lol Enjoy your Misto

Use a funnel to pour the oil into a glass bottle-shaped container that's easy to pour from. Also helps to hold the container so that the spout is near the edge on the long side of the can. The can's top is a rectangle, looked at from above. Hold the can so the long side of the rectangle is down with the spout close to the top's edge. Got it?

It actually comes with 20 ounces of oil which is exactly what the machine needs. It makes it easy to do the original fill. They also provide a small funnel to assist in putting the oil in without a spill.

None until you fill it. But you only fill it about half full in order to have enough compressed air space remaining to make it work well.Because you pump the top for the propellant that sprays the oil. Which is actually a great feature, which replaces any less desirable gas found in the spray oils you normally buy. Besides the advantage of knowing the real quality of oil being used. But back to the answer more directly, as I assume you want:It will only hold about a cup or a bit less per filling. But it is no problem to add more as needed. Especially with a small neck bottle or easy pour spout. Hope this helps. Chu'a None until you fill it.

Hi Victoria. The oil has a medicine dropper top where you can see how much oil is in the dropper. I usually fill it to about 1/4 inch or less and that's enough to moisturize my whole face. You don't want to use too much if you're going to put on makeup afterwards. Hope this helps!

I can get 10 15 ml bottles in, but it is a tight fit. It might depend on the brand of oils - mine are Young Living.

Hi Doug, I usually add 4 oz to my oil at every change...I went on Amazon and bought some 4 oz plastic bottles and fill a few and keep them in my cars and pickups...I add about half a bottle (2 oz) to each gas fillup. Davv

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.

You have to pump it until it get hard to pump. Make sure that you do not have the oil going up the tube. Have it on a flat surface and pump it until it get hard and make sure that you do not over fill it either or it will not pump. There is a line that tells you how much oil to put in. Hope this helps you.

I've regularly collected 1.5-2oz on my over-productive a side. When that full, draining into a bottle is a little harder but not impossible - just need both hands to avoid spilling. Or just empty mid-feeding/more frequently.

Hi C23, how did u finally resolve this issue, or did U?I see others suggested the foam inside was likely impeding the flow into the reservoir. I see 1 person took it out, added oil, then put it back in - a good idea as I think its needed to prevent oil from outflowing too fast... Hope u found a solution!
