Vacuum pump oil

Hi Guys..
I'm in the middle of Indonesia at the moment and have run out of vacc pump ..
Would anyone out there know if there is a substitute oil I could use in a 2 stage vacc pump.?

Regards

Peter

Hi,

I reckon whatever refrigerant clean / new refrigerant oil you have would be fine. Pretty sure most vac oil is just some middle of the road mineral oil. Else, engine oil would probably do just fine.

Thanks for your feed back mate..
Cheers

I often use compressor oil when vaccing down bigger machines then swapping to vac oil when I'm near torr

Yeah POE, PAG or PVE oil is just as fine.
