At Flo-Max, we’re proud to supply our own high-quality Vacuum Pump Oil, designed to keep your vacuum pumps performing at their best.
But here’s a critical maintenance step many pump operators overlook: changing the pump oil regularly.
How Often Should You Change Vacuum Pump Oil?
As a rule of thumb, vacuum pump oil should be changed every 200 hours of operation. This routine maintenance is simple but makes a huge difference to pump performance and longevity.
Why Oil Changes Matter
During normal operation, moisture and contaminants can build up in the oil chamber. If left unchanged, this contaminated oil will:
- Reduce ultimate vacuum level of your pump
- Increase wear and tear on pump components
- Shorten the overall service life of your pump
By changing the oil regularly, you:
- Expel built-up moisture
- Maintain strong and consistent vacuum suction power
- Prolong the life of your vacuum pump

Don’t Wait for a Breakdown
Skipping regular oil changes might seem like a small cost-saving measure, but the long-term expense of reduced efficiency or pump failure far outweighs the price of a few litres of oil. So start making oil change an essential feature of your vacuum pump maintenance service.
