Overview: Watch this YouTube video showing the basic idea How to Change Pump Oil UC Davis Chemistry (3:26). We don't copy this method exactly, but you'll get the general idea.
*Choosing the right oil: The customer service at Duniway Stockroom is excellent. You can call them, describe the kind of pump, and they'll recommend a type of oil.
The e-beam evaporator system is pumped by an Edwards ED660. This is an old pump (obsolete for >30 years) but still runs great. Based on recommendation from Duniway Stockroom, we are using Mechanical Pump Oil - 1 gallon, Semi-Synthetic, Ultra 70 ( MPO-ULTRA70-1 ), ~ $65 per gallon. Oil change takes about a half gallon.
