I know that this is a debate carry out all over the web, but what is wrong with using iso32 and iso68 fluids?
They're high pressure but maybe not as slippery as needed.
I realize that it has to do with additives and such but it seems to me that the specialty oils cost a lot.
When I was bringing the Birmingham online I saw the iso oils spec'd a lot in the numerous manuals that
I read through.
Then also, mine is a hobbyist shop and not a production shop, but I've been in production shops where
all they use is non-detergent oil.
I'm using iso32 on the headstock gears and ball oilers, iso68 on the ways, lead screws, rods and such.
Bar & Chain oil sounds interesting. WD40, well.....
