My Jet lathe calls for it. Just wanted to see what it will cross over to so I could save some money and just grab something at Tractor supply.

Jeeper, Please remember that hydraulic oil is for hydraulic systems NOT gearboxes. If this is going in a gearbox you want lubricating/turbine oil.

A long time ago there many oil companies that sold oil to the machine trade. A popular machine oil was 20 weight. Then we got the ISO scale.

in going over the oil for my Kearney Treker mill, I ram into this mess. Seems a lot of cross over points to Mobil DTE. A lot of machine tools will be running DTE.

mobil makes a DTE light, medium and heavy. The viscosity Maps into the ISO scale. There are versions of the Mobil heavy viscosity and one has anti rust and corrosion additives. I recall finding a Napa product that mapped over to.

these oils are sold as a form of hydraulic oil but can be used for lubrication.
