The pumps use a 30 weight non-detergent that you can buy at big box stores or auto parts stores, pressure washer pump oil. It’s formulated for more resistance to moisture than just the standard 30 weight you might buy for a gas engine (lawn mower, snow blower … ).
I have a Cat pump and I’m using the Cat oil. Can get it at HomeDepot or Northern Tool and equip.

I guess before I mess someone up , the pumps I’ve had have all been 30 weight non-detergent but I’d look up your particular model pump to see what lube they recommend.
