Anybody know what kind of oil is used in vacuum pumps. The coupling between the motor and the pump on my table top unit fell apart. So, as long as it apart I thought I should change the oil.

Re: Vacuum Pump Oil
any oil: TRUE, if you are not handling refrigerants. If you are you need to go to a HVAC supply house and get a bottle of pump oil. It is changed often around refrigerant handling equipment because of the effects of small moisture and the Flourine, and Chlorine created acids.

It is not getting caught in the rain, its learning to dance in it. People saying good morning, should have to prove it.

Re: Vacuum Pump Oil
Thank you gentlemen, I went to a local HVAC contractor told him what I was doing and he donated a quart to the cause. With the situlation that I return with samples for show and tell.
