Model 105 oil recommendations?

[seattlemanufacturing]

i see that DTE heavy medium is recommended for the gear train however I'm having a hard time sourcing anything less than a 5 gal for any kind of reasonable price...

I presume Vac 2 is OK four way oil but I was wondering if anybody had recommendations for oiling this machine

Mobil DTE heavy medium is a premium performance ISO Viscosity Grade (VG) 68 oil.

Referenced from the following link, nearly at the bottom of the page.:

Presuming you can find an equivalent alternative in lesser quantities (less than a 5gal Pail) I would assume, and here I could be wrong (others will undoubtedly chime in) that you would have no problem in using that alternative, providing it met the the same spec as the Mobil DTE heavy medium that is recommended.

Also, Vac 2 is ISO Viscosity Grade (VG) 68 with a tackifier. Personally I use something a little thicker but as the saying goes, to each their own.
