I use 5w30 full synthetic it works best. I have the lightning air Venturi. The book is outdated 5w30 full synthetic is what should be used in it.

Had a similar problem with mine about a year ago. Sent it back and they repaired it free of charge. Just hope you kept the box it came in. Trying to find one to return it in may be a pain.
