THE most useless jack in history.
Went to change over a tyre today ( slow puncture) thought I could do it in 20mins. Went to use the bottle jack did see some light oil all over it, but thought nothin of it.
Anyway postioned the jack correctly and started to pump the arm, it started to rise until it got to a certain point and then you could hear a small jack fart.
Still kept pumping away and not getting anywhere fast.
Pulled the jack out from under the car and tightened the release valve again. Repeated again as above, still getting a small parp, and not lifting the wheel clear.
So I now think not enought oil is in the jack and it has some how leaked out.
So question is, which oil to refill with ( will any oil do?) also how to refill it?
