Add oil to CAT pump

[Cool Wash]

Hello Everyone,

I went through the thread about changing oil for cat pump. Looks like there are varied opinions . i didn’t see any comments about adding oil. Do you add oil ? If you do, how often and how much do you add each time?

Thank you again for your valuable inputs.

Why would you add oil? There is a level to maintain. You change the oil and refill it to the proper level. If it has a slow leak, you check it periodically and keep it filled to the proper level until you fix the leak. Pumps don't use oil and it doesn't evaporate.

I knew I was over thinking. Thank you MEP!

You do add oil to the three holes on top of the pump near the head for the wicks.

Change is anually and watch to see that your not getting oil in the water also.

Look at the little plexiglass oil indication window.
Oil level should be at the top of the red dot located in the center of the window (located at rear of the pump)
