How to Change the Oil in Your Vacuum Pump
Step 1 | Drain Oil
Remove back panel and gather necessary supplies. Locate screw and loosen it. Have a cup ready to catch the draining oil. Completely drain all of the oil.
Step 2 | Replace Oil
Add drain plug back in. Add oil back into to pump by locating the oil fill plug and unscrewing it. Fill pump with fresh vacuum oil until it reaches the oil indicator fill line.
Step 3 | Run a Pump Conditioning Program
Replace the oil fill plug. Replace the cover, screw in the 4 screws.
Always remember to run a pump conditioning program every time you replace the oil.

It provides the necessary oil change due to usage. Wish it comes with a smaller size.

I’m really happy with the Avid Armor Premium Synthetic Vacuum Pump Oil! It works great with my vacuum pump sealer, providing smooth operation and reliable performance. The 46 viscosity is just right, and I haven’t had any issues since I started using it. If you’re looking for a high-quality oil for your vacuum sealer, this one does the job perfectly!

I used this in a kozyvacu TA450. The hardest part was figuring out whether it was compatible or not.Quick compatibility guide.If you have a:Avid Armor Chamber Vacuum Sealer Machine: use this oilConsumer Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump: probably ok to use this oilIndustrial/Commercial/Lab devices: don't use this oilWhy?The biggest thing is it doesn't list its material characteristics. The only one it does list is "viscosity 46", by which i assume they mean ISO grade 46, which is equivalent to 46 centiStokes at 40C. Oil standard measurements are complex and i don't want to explain them in this review, but suffice it to say there's a lot of variables and this particular oil is forcing us to make a lot of guesses.I don't have the test equipment to assess the actual viscosity of this oil. However, a little bit of research into the brand indicates that they are a lab equipment supplier, so i bet it's reasonably trustworthy.I did some research and found some ISO 46 oil that was being sold as vacuum pump oil for rotary vane direct drive pumps. After thinking for a while I just decided to put some into my pump and see what happened. I topped it off using this oil and started it up, and ran it for a few minutes. I didn't observe any unusual sounds, smells, or vacuum performance, so i assume it's fine. My vacuum pump cost me $90 on amazon though. If you are using a $10000 lab pump and have strict performance needs in terms of vacuum capability and machine lifetime, you should not just buy random no-docs oil on amazon, you should use something with manufacturer recommended specs.
