I would like to know what I can do to make the oil come out a bit faster. If I shake it too much the whole stopper comes out and spills oil all over.

Seems odd that it falls out. Is the bottle too big? Maybe not in all the way? It seems to operate like what you might see in a bar when pouring shots. It allows only so much out before you need to turn it right side up again and pour a second time. Mine works great and I love it!!

Robert, I have the same problem. I have found that if I tip it back up and then pour again it will come out a little faster, as it will almost stop if I don't. I think the problem is that there is not a "vent". Most stoppers have a separate tube that allows air in while the oil is pouring out. If I need a lot of oil, I just pull the stopper out! The stopper comes out when it's shaken because it's so heavy. Hope this helps. Lynne

You can buy an oil with a lower viscosity, or you can do what I did and return the spout. I now have a wine cork as a stopper.

You might turn the bottle a little bit, there is one point that it comes out faster, or maybe it is just like an air lock.

It should come right off. Apply something like WD-40, let it sit for enough time to let the oil work. If the oil hasn't worked tap it with a hammer from different angles to help release it.

if this is like the 1 liter one I have, there should be a little insignia of an oil can right in front of the trigger on the top right before the brass rod that goes down into the cup. From what I have gathered, it is not oil that is needed but every now and then add a little petroleum jelly or other water NON-soluable grease just to keep the o-ring pliable...if it dries out, pump won't work...go to Solo site, this explanation should be there

Depends on what oil you're using. Anywhere from 20-35. Be sure to leave some room or you won't be able to get it to drip out very easily!

Not sure what you are trying to do. But this is a petroleoum based product & oil / water don't mix very well. I'm not an expert just a country boy, but doesn't sound like what you are trying to do.

With the container 1/2 filled with oil use the cap as a pump and push it down to the bottem section where the oil is stored. You will have to repeat this about fifteen times to build up enough pressure for oil to spray out of the tip.

I think that depends on the thickness, heaviness of the oil used. you might need to dilute it.

You shake out the oil. It works fine for most things and the bottles do not leak. That said, it's not too hard to pry the hard plastic inserts out of the neck of the bottle and use your own dropper or syringe if you want to.

With oil in bottle and top on, tip bottle to pour out. Top gets lubricated, then works fine.

I thought I read somewhere to use Shell Rotella 40w. Couldn't find that in quarts, so I used Chevron Delo 15w-40. Never had leakage more than a film on the bit until I loaned it to a relative. I heard he used it a LOT, and now oil leaks out. I used it for a few minutes, and I get drips now. Can't store it horizontally anymore. Oil even coming out around the bolts, supplied allen wrench too small to really tighten those. Guess I'll try tightening those, but most oil is leaking out thought the bit shaft. Don't know if the seal is serviceable.

I need more info on HOW u were trying to fill it ??? I use a small funnel and pour slowly from plastic bottle if chain oil.WAS OIL LEAKING out as u tried to fill it? U should have it over newspaper when u try to fill, or over a catch pan. On mine I found that the OUTLET hole is too big and even tho I fill mine, it slings out oil off the blade and 15-20 mins into cutting its empty. Sooo I just put in an oz or two to lube the chain and use it for an hr or two, then wiped it down and put it away. I think they thought the chain bar against the oil out hole would regulate outflow, but it really doesn't. GOOD unit but the oil thing is really the only prob I have had... GOOD LUCK!

I'd wait to put it in until it's low so it's mostly filled with the stop leak. Mine was all the way out when I put it in (my leak was obviously much faster). Others might suggest something else, but that's what I'd recommend.

Take it to your local service station where you get your oil changed ask them to rid of it of it with there used oil products old oil ,filters and ect

The barrel on mine turned freely. Perhaps a lubricant might work like some vegetable oil. Can you latch on to the barrel with some pliers?

Put a little cooking oil on the gasket when you put it in and it will come right out. It also helps to push the button to relieve the pressure. If it's really stuck, dismount it from the faucet and you will get better leverage. Hope that helps.

Add a drop of oil into the chamber wear the the stud fits into. Then use a qtip to dab extra oil out. We did this and it doesn't get stuck anymore.

Shake it well before use and it should come out like a bunch of oily bubbles, more or less. usually sink while dispersing. Make sure there is good oxygen flow. Hope this answer helps.
