    Anyone know if the 028av has an adjustable oiler? The online manual isn't much help.

    The 028 I had did not have an adjustable oiler.

    I don't know a ton about the 028, but I don't think I've seen one that had an adjustable oiler. However, mediaCAT shows two different pump pistons - one with a .6mm stroke and one with a .7mm stroke, so I suppose any given oiler (depending on sub-model & vintage) could have a different output.

    Are you looking to increase the output of yours? If so, mdavlee has a thread on here about modding the internal components to accomplish that.
