I have one that I hardly ever use, from what I've experienced it can handle a ton of oil. The ball is useless to me in my home area because of the lack of oil applied. I do take it to tournaments just in case and truly believe that it can handle more oil then the Original Terminator. Also, mine is drilled pin up, I think if you had one drilled pin down or an even stronger layout than mine, this ball could handle any amount of oil you'd encounter.
