Remember to keep on ticking while the sap is dripping.
2016- 50 buckets. Made 4 gallons.
2022- 3750 taps + Smartrek! Made 1300 gallons.
2023- 3750 taps after removing a pump house and connected two woods. Made 800 gallons.
If you are asking about the crankcase oil it only takes a little over a quart to fill it.

A SP 22 should take 2 qts. If you can't see in your tube then the t at bottom of crank case is plugged
2 quarts gets mine about a 1/2 inch in the sight glass

We pull 22in on our sp 22. It gets kinda hot above that cause these were made to milk cows at 15 in.

I run mine at 26.5" and yes it does get hot. I use Castrol Edge 5W-30 synthetic motor oil in it and it hasn't burned up on me. It is outside under my head tank platform so it gets plenty of air to keep it from overheating.
