Beginner questions about my eBay pump

Greetings all,

I purchased a pump off eBay last year. I don't see any manufacturer markings so I don't know what brand of pump it is. My first question is about oil replacement...I don't see a place to put the oil. Is it possible this is an oil less pump?




Second question refers to the vacuum...when I place my finger over the port it maxes out at a hair over -25 mmHg. Is this sufficient for vacuum infusion or is -30 mmHg mandatory?




Thanks in advance!

I'm in the market for a new pump right now and I must say that I have no expertise, but nevertheless willing to buy from local second hand ads (price + no shipping).
Could anyone tell me if this pump is worth it or not?
thanks a lot!
