How much oil is needed for a DuroFlow blower?

Like the RootsFLO series, DuroFlow blowers utilize oil on both the drive and gear end.  Please note, the amounts listed in your manual and on this website are an approximate amount of oil to have on hand for the oil change. When adding oil to your blower, the correct oil level in the oil sump is determined strictly by using the oil sight glass or oil level plug.  Make sure you use these indicators so you do not overfill the unit!
