Jack oil

[feeutfo]

Sealey recommend a certain oil, and any other oil invalidates the warranty, does it really matter what oil is used? Mine seems to be a bit low, full stroke only lifts the saddle through half it's movement. Pumping to bleed air helps, but problem returns, it now squeaks as if it's sucking air bubbles.

Still a million times better than Daz's jack though....thought I'd get that in before he pipes up

It was fine until you touched it Gixer   . . . 

I blame DTM, was like it when I got it from him....you notice he quietly fixed the valve mechanism engaging, definitely a sign of guilt.

But Do you remember Arcrites till in "open all hours"....

He's from Robin Hood Country what do you expect???

I have got in touch with the shop I bought my Jack from and they are collecting it to apparently put it right..... wonder what they will say when they see DTM's "Jim'll Fix it"
