Replace the pump oil every three months or sooner if the oil
appears dark or cloudy.
Materials needed
• Container for catching used pump oil
• Funnel (9301-6461), 5-mm Allen wrench (8710-1838)
• Gloves, chemical resistant, clean, lint free (9300-1751)
• Oil, synthetic, Mobile 1 (G6600-85001)

Never add pump oil while the pump is on.
The fill cap and pump may be dangerously hot. Check that the fill
cup and pump are cool before you touch them.
Do not touch the oil. The residues from some samples are toxic.
Properly dispose of the oil.
Use only synthetic 10W30 oil, such as Mobil 1. Any other oil can
substantially reduce pump life and invalidates the pump warranty.
