There doesn’t seem to be any specification for oil.

What do you mean by "oil"?  They use water and cleaning fluids AFAIK.  They mention using grease type lube for several places in manual but as you say nothing about oil.  Or you you have a motor type unit that requires oil for the motor?  Expect that would just be normal motor oil as used in chainsaw or such.

This any help?

Surely it is electric....why would it need oil?

Most small pressure wash pump have swash plate chamber with lubrication grease or oil

Chamber is separate from water side of piston pump using seal ring

Must admit never heard of, but there indeed seems to be some special "pump oil" to lubricate the pump?

Nothing to do with engine oil, sure the motor is electric.

 

Also many (maybe smaller models?) have sealed pumps where you never notice about oil change.

 

Question: is there no label near the filling cap?

If in Thai can you provide a picture?

Back in 2006 I purchased a Zinsano AR Blue Clean high pressure washer.
I and family left Thailand mid 2016, returned to the US.
Sold that unit, along with all the associated kit I acquired for it's use.
Hoses, kwic-click adapters, a incoming water filter, valves,
a long heavy duty power cable (needed!), extra wand attachments, detergents,
mounted on a 2-wheel luggage trolley.
While the unit was expensive, it was simply superb in every respect.
Was used often. Fantastic pressure w/ high LPM flow.
Used extensively after the 2010~2011 flood.
Strip paint both exterior and interior for the total repaint of the house.

 

Some tips and warnings,
- duty cycle, use unit for 15 minutes, then unit pwr-off 15 minutes.
- high pressure hose fittings and such are not 'standard'.
- long, skinny high pressure hoses can be had from the distributor.
- avoid the large, fat hoses, are heave to drag, easy to scuff.
- don't scuff your hoses.
- if the hose is punctured, don't place your hand on it. Can cut you like a knife.
- do use a heavy duty power cord.
- do use a incoming water filter, DIY with stuff from local irrigation supplier.
- the 2-wheel luggage trolley is a worthy DIY project.
- use a proper oil.

I have (had?) ;  
the manual,
a exploded parts diagram,
phone numbers and locations of importers/distributors.
If I find then, I shall re-post on this thread.

 

This unit had a powerful electric motor which direct drives the high pressure pump.
The high pressure pump unit was a 2 piece stainless steel housing,
and had 3 ceramic pistons driven by a 3-lobe camshaft.
It of course required lubrication, so was filled with oil.

 

Here are 2 very old links, both none functional now:

The Zinsano Technical representatives at the Buriram Home and Tool Expo told me
the Blu Italian made high pressure washer should use DIN 51506 oil
such as the Puma high temperature oil.
The Puma oil should be available in every province of Thailand.  
DIN 51506 VDL lubricants have additives that protect from corrosion and oxidation,
and air compression temperatures up to 220°C;
recommended for compressors with two stage air compression.
