There was a thread on this somehwere. I can't seem to find it now.

I have a cheap Torin Black Jack 3 Ton floor jack i got from WalMart about 15 years ago. It finally started to give out on me and it seemed like the fluid was getting low. So i was going to check the fluid and refil and bleed the air. I opened the wrong valve and tried to bleed it, and it sucked in TONS of air before I realized i had the wrong valve open. Now i'm so confused, i'm not sure exactly what to do to get it back to normal.

Any advice on first, how to get all the air out, and 2nd, to make sure its got enough fluid in it?

Thanks.

EDIT:
Its this one...

Go to the Sticky at the top of the page. Read Import Jacks. Or just fill with oil, open release valve and pump 15-20 times.
