what weight oil do you put in this?

The owners manual should have a page that includes information regarding what weight of oil you need to put in since it depends on your climate. From what I remember 10W30 and or 10W40 work for most places around the world. However, it would be a good idea to snoop around the manual and website for the information. I bought mine awhile ago, broke it in, and have let it set after the break in oil change. I've enjoyed the little bugger so far.

manual has it listed for your area you live a little different climate but the 10w30 or 10w40 it does not require synthetic i know for sure most oil is just for lubercation

You can weigh out your item and do the conversion yourself but it will be more accurate if you include the density of the liquid in your calculation. Water is about 1 but oils can be lower in density ~0.91 - 0.92. This is a great little scale though.

You could also use a flexible funnel (or better yet - make one from a plastic soda bottle). Hold it snug against the bottom of the crankcase and guide the oil to a container on the floor.

I bought 4 Qts, but it didn't take all of it. Do not overfill! What I do is empty into oil tray then pour the old oil into a gallon milk container to see how much came out. I thinks it was about 3 Qts.

Stick with the spec...this machine is too expensive to screw around with cheap oil.

not real sure, the oil that comes with it is not a real heavy weight oil. my suggestion is to go to a local auto parts or one of the tractor supply stores. if you have any of the original oil they should be able to help with a substitute.

Weight volume and weight weight are different a lot of the time. A cup of oil will not weigh 8 oz on a scale.

You'd be okay with one quart. But 2 would be closer to the ideal mixture of 20 percent. Or even 1.5 I would say 1.5 that way you could just dump 6 qts of oil in and take the guesswork out.

If you need oil use 10w. A brand called zoom spout works great Grainger industrial supply sells it

I get this for my Nordic track treadmill that I have had for years. It calls for a 3-in-1 oil. Sorry

Yes, it's 90 weight. Synthetic won't break down as fast as regular oil. And less changing. Last longer. Better high temps too! I use this in my Honda Motorcycle.

I use a carrier oil... Because I think it is otherwise too strong for my personal choice.. I use coconut oil.4or 5 drops of balance to a tablespoon of carrier oil.I think it is also recommend on the website.But your personal choice as well. I love it.

My preference is to us regular 30 WT non detergent oil. Any inexpensive brand will do.

We use Fellowes Powershred Performance Oil CRC35250 in the 12 oz. size. I think 3 in 1 might be too heavy.

2 Oz. per quart, and you do not have to add it each oil change. I do it every two oil changes and I can't talk for anyone else but it made a difference in both my motor and especially in my transmission. a 32 Oz. bottle is good for 3 oil changes when you put this in and you can wait for the 3rd oil change to use it, I just like every 2 times for myself. Good Luck!

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.
