I have been working on a project for some time now, which requires an oil diffusion pump. The pump came from eBay and did not have oil with it. It
takes santovac-5 oil (polyphenyl ether), but I cannot find any online.
I am wondering if anyone has 100cc of Santovac-5 oil for sale. I can pay via Paypal.
Thanks,
Max

I think you can use any good high vacuum pump oil, it doesn't has to be a synthetic one
At least in my pumps I changed brands and types without any problems, all you need is an inert oil with good viscosity and most importat extremly low
vapour pressure
Where do you live? EU? I have the luck to live 1km next to laboratory supply store and THEY HAVE polyphenyl ether based oils and about 10 more, though
it's very expensive, something between 60-120€/bottle if I remember correctly.
