Not sure if this would be the question to ask in here, But if you have a Harvest right, what kind of pump oil Do you use?
i use Dairyland But it seem’s the supply is just about out. so I am looking for a 2nd option I have been using this oil for about 1yr now so what do You guy’s USE?
Hi,
Auto zone/ o-rileys will carry the vacuum oil. My suggestion is to go with the oil-less pump from harvest right. My aunt has one of these, ever try a freeze dried skittle? it turns to a foam/ taffy consistency.

Ultra 19 isn’t for contaminated useage. It’s for applications where the oil isnt really ever changed.

Thats legit. Its USA labs packaged oil. It is much clearer than other oils i dont know if that equates to purity. I have gone thru 10-15 gallons of it at least.
Do u have any feedback on this 20 weight oil?
will that kind work for my freeze dryer tho?
found this on google, not a bad price for 4 gallons

well i just pulled the trigger for 2 gallons of VacOil ECO freeze dryer pump oil.
Question going from Dairyland to VacOil , this will not damage my pump right?
if anyone has use this please comment would love to here your feedback or feedback on this company as well in general thanks.
@Killa12345 told me about the 20 oil. He might have more experience with that brand.
I also asked about it at @usalab dave said he would look into it but I never follwed up.
What is the make and model of your vac pump?
Did u buy this pump new? How much use is on it?
I’ve never had a problem with their oil and I’m almost positive they are on the forum too.
