Avid ArmorPremium Synthetic Vacuum Pump Oil – High-Performance 46 Viscosity, 32 oz (1 Quart) for Chamber Vacuum Sealers, Durable Oil Vacuum Pump, Efficient Vacuum Chamber Oil

Quality product, works as stated, competitive pricing

I’m really happy with the Avid Armor Premium Synthetic Vacuum Pump Oil! It works great with my vacuum pump sealer, providing smooth operation and reliable performance. The 46 viscosity is just right, and I haven’t had any issues since I started using it. If you’re looking for a high-quality oil for your vacuum sealer, this one does the job perfectly!

I used this in a kozyvacu TA450. The hardest part was figuring out whether it was compatible or not.Quick compatibility guide.If you have a:Avid Armor Chamber Vacuum Sealer Machine: use this oilConsumer Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump: probably ok to use this oilIndustrial/Commercial/Lab devices: don't use this oilWhy?The biggest thing is it doesn't list its material characteristics. The only one it does list is "viscosity 46", by which i assume they mean ISO grade 46, which is equivalent to 46 centiStokes at 40C. Oil standard measurements are complex and i don't want to explain them in this review, but suffice it to say there's a lot of variables and this particular oil is forcing us to make a lot of guesses.I don't have the test equipment to assess the actual viscosity of this oil. However, a little bit of research into the brand indicates that they are a lab equipment supplier, so i bet it's reasonably trustworthy.I did some research and found some ISO 46 oil that was being sold as vacuum pump oil for rotary vane direct drive pumps. After thinking for a while I just decided to put some into my pump and see what happened. I topped it off using this oil and started it up, and ran it for a few minutes. I didn't observe any unusual sounds, smells, or vacuum performance, so i assume it's fine. My vacuum pump cost me $90 on amazon though. If you are using a $10000 lab pump and have strict performance needs in terms of vacuum capability and machine lifetime, you should not just buy random no-docs oil on amazon, you should use something with manufacturer recommended specs.

Havent used it yet but good to have when you need yo change oil

Works with my vac pack system

Seems like a lot of oil for the price.

Cheap price. Exactly the recommended oil for my pump.

it works great in my vacuum sealer
