What should the oil level be when installing an oiler?
Proper installation of the oiler will assure maximum long-term operation. Key issues that must be addressed during installation include: Verify that the oil level is clearly marked on the base of the oiler. Mount the oiler by using side or bottom outlet at the desired level.
What should the liquid level be in an oil reservoir?
The liquid level in the oil reservoir is visible through a clear reservoir available in acrylic or glass and in various sizes. Maximum temperature rating is 160ºF for acrylic and 225ºF for glass. The reservoir is mounted airtight on the base to prevent contaminants from entering.

What do you need to know about constant level Oilers?
Constant level oilers have a “control point” that must align with the proper oil level of the equipment. The device is installed on the equipment and oil is filled to the predetermined level. All constant level oilers require air to function properly.
What happens if you over fill your engine oil?
There is no need for action if the engine oil level is slightly above the max-level. But if you have filled it 0.3″ or more above the sign, it can cause severe damage to your engine. The engine oil reserve holds some extra oil to compensate for the fluid expansion due to hot conditions.
What happens when you lower the oil level in an oiler?
Their “control point” is set to align with the desired oil level and if it lowers, air enters the reservoir displacing the oil until the seal is re-established. Determining which type of oiler to use for an application requires consideration of the surrounding environment, type of seals and design of the housing, including port locations and vents.
How does excessive refilling affect the oil level?
Excessive refilling of the reservoir also will have a negative effect on the oil level. Each time the reservoir is removed and replaced, a small amount of lubricant is added to the oil sump level. Over time, this chain of events will increase the fluid level.
