Most likely your gear head will take less than 1 gallon, usually ISO32 is recommended unless you are in a very warm environment. Gearbox and carriage are typically ISO68 oil viscosity and will take probably a quart on your size lathe. I use Miles Hydraulic R&0 oil's, you can get a 5 Gallon pale for around $92 shipped and sign up for their email and get 15% off, I routinely get 20% off emails from them. Multipurpose R&O Oil is a rust and oxidation (R&O)-inhibited, anti-wear circulating oil developed for use in circulation systems, centrifugal air compressors, geared turbines, lightly loaded enclosed gear drives and many other industrial applications. Many hydraulic systems will be shared with gear drives, and the oil may be used with gears that do not have high loading. There are some difference in gear oils vs. hydraulic oils, but in a smaller lathes it will make no difference. Condensation will occur over time, so a regular (annual) changing of the oil is more important as to longevity.
