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.?

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.
