Vacuum pump oil is the versatile ingredient inside the pump that lubricates the pumping apparatus while also collecting moisture and contaminants from evacuated systems.
Simply put, it’s what keeps the pump, well…pumping.

Because vacuum pumps don’t have filters, the oil inside becomes saturated with contaminants, which reduces the pump’s efficiency. Once oil is saturated it can’t absorb any more system moisture. If the oil becomes contaminated, it eventually turns into a sludge, which greatly reduces the pump’s efficiency. Oil that is both contaminated and saturated doesn’t lubricate well and can quickly wear out the pumping apparatus.

Replacing a vacuum pump’s oil is critical to ensuring that your pump will keep running smoothly.
