Which Leybold Vacuum Pump Oil Do I Need?
The correct Leybold vacuum pump oil depends on the pump model, operating conditions, process load, ambient temperature, vapour load, contamination level and whether the application requires mineral, synthetic, PFPE or food grade oil.
Common Leybold oil references include LVO 100, LVO 120, LVO 130, LVO 210 and LVO 400. Different SOGEVAC and TRIVAC pumps may require different grades, so it is important to check the pump specification before ordering.
| Leybold Oil Reference | Typical Use | VacAir Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| LVO 100 | Common oil for many Leybold rotary vane vacuum pump applications. | VacAir VAC-OIL 100 vacuum pump oil where suitable. |
| LVO 120 | General industrial and selected Leybold vacuum pump applications. | VacAir VAC-OIL 32 mineral vacuum pump oil where suitable. |
| LVO 130 | Selected SOGEVAC and industrial vacuum pump applications. | VacAir VAC-OIL 68 or specialist oil where suitable. |
| LVO 210 | Synthetic oil applications, higher duty or extended service requirements. | VacAir 100S fully synthetic vacuum pump oil where suitable. |
| LVO 140 | Food industry applications where food safe oil is required. | VacAir FG68 Food Safe oil where suitable. |
Important: Always confirm the correct oil grade before changing specification. Incorrect oil can cause overheating, poor vacuum performance, premature wear and pump failure.

Why Vacuum Pump Oil Matters
Oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps rely on oil for much more than basic lubrication. The oil helps seal the internal compression chamber, remove heat, protect moving parts and support the ultimate vacuum level of the pump.
Poor quality, contaminated or incorrect oil can quickly affect pump performance. In severe cases it can lead to overheating, damaged vanes, blocked oil separators, bearing failure and expensive repairs.
Common Signs Your Oil Needs Changing
• Oil appears dark, dirty or cloudy
• Pump is running hotter than normal
• Oil consumption has increased
• Exhaust smoke or oil mist has increased
• Pump has been exposed to moisture, vapour or process contamination
Leybold SOGEVAC and TRIVAC Vacuum Pump Oil
Leybold SOGEVAC and TRIVAC pumps are widely used in laboratory, scientific, industrial and process vacuum applications. These oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps are often selected for dependable vacuum performance and long service life.
Leybold pumps are commonly found in research laboratories, universities, medical equipment, coating systems, packaging machinery, plastics processing, freeze drying, degassing, leak testing and general industrial vacuum systems.
Many Leybold SOGEVAC and TRIVAC pumps use LVO series vacuum pump oils, although the correct grade depends on the model and application. If you are servicing a Leybold vacuum pump, VacAir can supply the oil, filters, oil separators, service kits and technical support required.
Laboratory and Scientific Use
Leybold vacuum pumps are widely used in laboratories, universities and research facilities. Correct oil selection is particularly important where vapour load, cleanliness, process compatibility and reliable vacuum performance matter.
Industrial Vacuum Systems
Leybold SOGEVAC and TRIVAC pumps are used in production environments where dependable vacuum is required. Regular oil changes help control operating temperature and reduce wear.
Food Packaging and Processing
Some Leybold pumps are used in food packaging and processing environments. These applications may require frequent oil changes, moisture checks and food grade lubricants where specified.
Genuine Leybold Oil or VacAir Alternative?
Both options are available from VacAir. Genuine Leybold oil may be the preferred choice where OEM specification, warranty, laboratory process approval or site approval is required. VacAir branded vacuum pump oil is a practical lower cost alternative for many routine service applications when correctly specified.
Our team can help you compare the options and choose the correct oil for your pump and application.
Leybold Vacuum Pump Oil Change Intervals
Oil change intervals depend on operating hours, ambient temperature, process contamination, vapour load, duty cycle and pump model. Clean laboratory and industrial applications may allow longer service intervals, while wet processes, food packaging, chemical vapours and contaminated environments often require more frequent oil changes.
When changing Leybold vacuum pump oil, it is good practice to check the condition of related service items at the same time.• Check the oil level and oil condition
• Inspect exhaust filters and oil separators
• Check inlet filters for restriction or contamination
• Look for signs of overheating
• Check for oil leaks
• Confirm the pump is achieving the expected vacuum level
• Check whether vapour or process contamination is present

Do All Leybold Vacuum Pumps Use Oil?
No. Leybold supply a wide range of vacuum pumps and not every model uses oil in the same way. Many SOGEVAC and TRIVAC rotary vane pumps are oil lubricated and require the correct vacuum pump oil. Other Leybold technologies may have different lubrication requirements or may not use oil in the compression chamber.
If you are unsure whether your Leybold pump requires oil, or which oil grade should be used, send us the pump model and serial number before ordering.
| Leybold Pump Type | Uses Vacuum Pump Oil? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Leybold SOGEVAC | Yes | Oil lubricated rotary vane pumps. Confirm LVO grade by model. |
| Leybold TRIVAC | Yes | Oil sealed rotary vane pumps. Correct oil depends on model and application. |
| Leybold dry pumps | Not in compression chamber | May have different maintenance requirements. Check the specific pump manual. |
| Leybold turbomolecular pumps | Specialist requirements | Do not treat as a standard rotary vane oil change. Confirm specification. |
