If you had sent it back to Uwatec and they couldn't repair it, they would have offered you a really sweet deal on whatever is current.

Unfortunately, now that you opened it, you're pretty much out of luck.

Also, even with the oil, I have no idea how you're going to refill and seal it. The oil needs to fill the entire case with no bubbles. It's what keeps the case from being distorted or crushed underwater and also helps prevent water infiltration.

flots.

That's exactly what I did with my Air X Nitrox. I thought it was just a dead battery, maybe it was but they said it was not serviceable. They gave me 40% of a Galileo Sol. They replaced my Air Z Nitrox battery at the same time and gave me a new sensor that has a user changeable battery.

My question is, if it showed 74% why would you think its the battery? How could you read 74% if it was the battery, or was that what it was the last time you checked it?

The battery readings are notoriously innacurrate

I seem to recall that some of the Uwatecs didn't actually check the battery; the indicator had something to do with hours of operation or some other indirect method.

I knew silicone oil sounded familiar. I use it in my RC Nitro trucks shocks. and differentials. But they are custom products and may not be pure and come in a huge variety of weights. Check out tower hobbies if you are looking for silicone oil for "shock oil".

That's all 100wt and above used in differentials. RC shock oil (silicone oil) goes down to 5wt. I did see somewhere that bike shocks get down to 2.5wt.

Here is some 5wt:

-I don't think that silicone oil and paraffin oil are miscible. You may want check that what you are putting back mixes with what was originally in there. If not, you may see "oil bubbles" in front of your screen.

Thank you for all the great info. Perhap it is silicone oil.



To all the Uwatec kool-aid drunks - keep your useless comments to yourself.
