I am looking for opinions based upon good and bad experiences along with thoughts on the subject.
When I bought my Lathe and Mill from PM I bought enough Gear oil to change the oil in my Lathe once (after break in) and I bought a quart of way oil. Both bottles said they were ISO68 but not a great deal of information past that. after talking to Mike with PM I bought another batch of lube for my gear box, I try to stick with Manufacturers recommended when possible but I would like to be able to source lubricants locally and Mike recommended a ISO68 Hydraulic oil which I can pick up from Tractor Supply, easy enough. Now I am looking for way oil and I am thinking about using the same oil but adding some Lucas to it to provide it with some staying power, any thoughts?
What do you like to use for way oil?
