How Do You Know When It's Time to Change Your Vacuum Pump Oil?
There are two main ways to gauge whether or not your oil needs to be changed.
1. A good indicator of when to change your oil is the color. In general, it should be light, but there is a range of acceptable shades at which your pump will function. If you’re checking the oil in your vacuum pump, match the color to the resource provided below.
2. Another way to gauge your pump's oil quality is if the oil is milky or cloudy. This could mean your vacuum pump oil has been contaminated by water. Check out the image below for reference.
