I use 10/40 in the engine and silkoline light gear oil in the pump - 6 years with no problems yet. I do all the services during the winter, I also change the unloader and the valves

Yes the pump is little more than a simple gear case as its antifoaming that counts. Interpump do a pump oil if you need to be anal.
