Hi John,
I use aeon pd oil for my blowers and an sae30 non detergent oil for my pumps. The pump oil I get from machine mart but the aeon pd blower oil you will probably get from woodbridge or one of the other truckmount suppliers.
All the best

Hi John,
I get my blower and pump oils direct from woodbridge.
Water pump is dead easy.
Drain from pipe, refill to half way up glass site.
Blower is a bit fiddley, but i managed.
Drain plug on bottom.
Level plug on side.
Filling plug on top.
Drain oil.
Fill it up untill it comes out of the level plug on side.
I use a small oil can, with a flexible pipe, to put the oil in. It doesnt hold much
At 500 hrs I would also change spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter.
Its not a major job, only needs to be done once a year.
regards
Chris
ps
£330 + vat for your water pump :o
I thought it was just the 12 volt fresh water supply pump ?
Flojet or shruflow ?

Thanks John

The cheaper one is probably just the pump and the other one is a pump with the accumalator tank complete I would have thought? If you didn't have the tank on your original set up he probably sent the more expensive one with the accumalator tank because it will last years longer than one without because it stops the pump constantly cutting off and on.
All the best
