the unit is self doesn't require oil, it is battery powered. You will need to lubricate the chain, with chain oil, as used on a chainsaw.

Purchased unit 10/2011 and mine did not come with oil. so all you need is oil and gas. Battery included and mine came with acid as a kit you assemble.

I get this for my Nordic track treadmill that I have had for years. It calls for a 3-in-1 oil. Sorry

I have not used any oil with mine since I've had it. Not sure where you can get it.

The vacuum pump oil must be specific to vacuum pumps. I bought a qt of Tech select Vacuum Pump Oil at O'reillys

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.

I have always used generic oil. I have some that came in an aerosol can that seems to work great. That's what I recommend, but I can't guarantee it's proper for use in IR. Hope this helps. Regards, Pete

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!

Have no idea what oil is used because the pump because this is a no-maintenance pump. This is my second Little Giant pump and the first several years in a Koi pond. Also not sure about the thermal protection but the first pump clogged with leaves regularly but kept on working well. I think it finally died due to general corrosion.

It is actually oil, and they should have come with the oil in them. I ended up , upgrading to a different style, because I tried those twice and they were defective both times. Hope this helps.

My unit was delivered without motor oil. I bought a quart of Pennzoil 5W30 synthetic blend and added just over half a quart. Works fine!

If I remember correctly you have to go by the line marked inside the unit. It does use a fair amount of oil. We returned ours because fresh batter kept sticking to the basket no matter what we tried. Also, it used about 3 times as much oil as our old Fry-Daddy and still only fried the same amount of product.

Any oil for chain saw is fine. I got mine from amazon when I ordered the chain saw.

I think you can use any fluid. The box doesn't say anything about what kind of fluid you can use or can't use. I used it with gear oil.
