My vac pump is in about the same league, and I'm also pleased.

Xringer's advice about fresh oil every use is an important point to keep in mind. Every time you use the unit, the oil absorbs moisture and any other gaseous contaminate.

So, you want fresh oil with each use, AND if you're going to be storing your vac pump, you should put fresh, uncontaminated oil in it to prevent possible pump corrosion.

Cheap insurance.
