I need help!! I have a Little Giant Pump 3 MDQX-SC. For pump maintainance I need to use SAE 20W NONDETERGENT oil.....and I can't find it anywhere!!!

Does anyone else have this pump or use this oil? And if so where do you buy the oil?
Thanks for any help!!!

Did you try asking the pump manufacturer? I looked around a little and could find SAE 20W NONDETERGENT oil.

You can find motorcycle fork oil in those weights, but not sure if its nondetergent.

A heatting and air cond. place will have it or maybe home depot.Use on circuating pumps or even a automotive store.

Napa should have it. We have napa brand straight 30 non detergent, which are used on wells. I also want to say that the air compressor oil we have is a 15-30 weight. You can get away with non detergent 30 weight, for sure. And that should be readily available...
