The result is more reliable deep vacuums, longer oil life under heat stress, and easier pump starts in cold conditions. Sold in a one-quart (32 oz) bottle and available in cartons, Robinair 13203 is built to professional standards by a recognized leader in evacuation tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this oil hold up at high operating temperatures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobinair 13203 is engineered for thermal stability so it keeps its viscosity under elevated pump temperatures.
