Anyone have any ideas for what to use? The best light machine oil you can buy is a "turbine oil" which is very clean and has no additives. "Zoom Spout Oil" from Ace Hardware is a typical example if you want a small quantity, or Castrol OC-11 from an industrial oil supplier if you want a large quantity. That said, I once worked with a guy who used red ATF on all his tools, and they seemed to keep fine. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Yes, except that 3-in-1 should be avoided because it is prone to turn into a varnish-globbed mess after a few years. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Oil and Filter Change
Any one know what happened to Built_Well and his first oil change? I am
worried about him since he has not posted for awhile. I hope his jack did not rust out and crush him to death. |

Maybe he was so worried about the jack stands he forgot to get an oil drip pan and ended up drowning in oil. |
