There were several different answers for 'what is the minimum amount of oil that can be used'. Is there a manufacturer's minimum?

there is a fill line in it . a full line and a minimum line. takes just under a gal of oil. when you get the book on it it tells you.

It will hold a lot of oil. I typically fill to min line and it works great. Best I have used.

There is a maximum level and a minimum level of oil marked on the inside of the fryer body. I just measured water into the body and 10 cups reached the minimum level marking. It appears the maximum is a little more than double that (although I didn't measure the maximum since you didn't inquire about it). It is very easy to use the markings, so don't hesitate to buy the fryer even if you intend to use the minimum; it is the best fryer I have ever had.

The directions didn't say not to, so I am choosing to use any oil I would like. I am just making sure to clean it often as the directions state. (Every 10 hours of use)

I learned a long time ago that it is best to use manufactures oil. I would stay with Robinair oil. This takes guessing out of the equation. Hope this helps.

Google it or xall themanufacturer.... as far as oil I'm certain you will need the oil ..... Andit's possible the seals are ruined anyway

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.

No, you always have to use oil not much though, unless its an airpopper then yes no oil needed.

I used a 55 Gal. oil drum. Thicker would be better but I don't know of any.

I broke my generator in on straight 30 weight detergent oil for 10 hours. Then I put in 10W30 AMS Oil synthetic small engine oil. I am sure any good quality 10W30 oil would do. See page 13 of your owner's manual.

I would start with 25 drops of oil. Make sure you do not fill past the tiny glass tubes inside the diffuser bottle because the oil will get into the mechanics of the motor and cause the diffuser to malfunction.

Instructions say the probe needs to be immersed at least 1 inch deep w/o touching the bottom of the pot, so the minimum amount of oil will depend on the size & shape of your cooking vessel.

Not sure, however, after I discovered an oil leak on my machine I just had my local shop fix it. The cost was minimal and down time was short. I used it all day yesterday and it ran like a champ.

Sorry, I'm not an expert. When I used this product with conventional motor oil I had high hopes but, ultimately, I was dissappointed. It's possible that the oil leak stopped for a little while but it came back and is significant.

Neither one of you answered the question. If you fill it to the mark, how much oil is that?
1027708
I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

The only oil used is any make of chain saw lube oil. The tank is very small.

Depends on what oil you're using. Anywhere from 20-35. Be sure to leave some room or you won't be able to get it to drip out very easily!
