They will pump cold engine oil fine.

Flow will depend on the model. Some are way larger than others.

Mono is just the brand name - if you want a term to google, it's "progressive cavity"

They are not high flow pumps, but they are excellent at pumping sludge and thick liquids. Self priming with a very good suction lift. They don't macerate the liquid, rather take gulps and push them through the pump.

One golden rule is NEVER run them dry or against a CLOSED suction or discharge valve.

Not cheap to buy but well worth the money. Spares including Viton stators are readily available from Mono in Manchester.
