Bought mine through Home Depot. It must have been an open box return because the connectors were loose in the box, the hoses were not zip tied, power cord was not zip tied to the compressor, the packaging slip and another paper were crumpled at the bottom, and there was no instruction manual. Will assemble it in the next few days.
I bought the BL-5000SLX back in 2019 for about $1100. from Costco. For me, The QuickJack is more novelty than a workhorse, and have used the jack probably under 15 times since I purchased it. In hindsight, I should have bought the BL-7000EXT because the 5000SLX even with the rather expensive extensions comes up a bit short on My Honda & Toyota Minivans. The jack can lift the Minivans with ease, But the length from jack point to jack point comes up short. So I have to spend more time aligning the jacks along the pinch welds, But so far no issues. I'm just getting around to adding Casters to ease the movement when aligning the jacks. In contrast, It takes me half the time to just use Jack Stands on all corners although you give up some Height depending on the job at hand. ( I keep my QuickJack stored against the wall vertically and the pump /accessories in a milk crate dolly, this is due to limited space in my 2-car garage. So set up time is longer ) While I've never had an issue with QuickJack, the Lack of use can cause air pressure to decrease in the cylinders and leaky Quick Connect seals. The QuickJack is still a must-have if use them often and not just another tool that garnishes your Garage.

Just a quick video when my Quickjack 7000TL was delivered. See it in action in the next video, including lifting my lifted 2021 F150.
I have the same hydraulic unit as you do. Mine was a little wet with oil also. I used full synthetic hydraulic oil.

do not use ATF use hydraulic fluid only.
