Peace
According to the copy of the Operating Instructions and Parts Manual that I still have,(being a packrat has an advantage at least once in your lifetime) the oil resevoir requires 4 oz. Hope this helps.
Isn't there a bit of a well-intended but poorly thought-out hash mark cast into the pump housing? I know my larger wheelbarrow Emglo has one, be it vague as it is. I've always just filled a shy higher than what looks right and haven't had a problem - yet.
they call for synthetic oil on mine , gotn it from dewalt service store
I have an older twin tank Emglo and it has a dipstick with a mark on it.
They dont have the dipstick anymore? Mine takes about 1/3 of a qt. or less to fill, but I would check with a Emglo dealer to be sure.
Thanks wood4rd, Craftsman 1510 and the rest of you guys. I got some new air filter elements from master Tool Repair and ask the them the question about how much pump oil it took to refill and they said about 6 ounces. Another dealer said about 8 ounces. Mine also has the red dipstick, but after putting in 6 ounces of oil the stick still didn't touch the oil, so I added 2 more ounces and it came up to the mark on the bottom tip of the dipstick. I did a Google search on this unit but couldn't find much info on the AirMate Emglo since they aren't made that this old one of mine anymore.
Again Thanks, Mike
