Took a quick look to get an idea on prices, and discovered that there is a rather bewildering array of oils on offer. I'm looking to pick up a couple of gallons of a standard-grade gear oil for my lathe's gearboxes. At a glance, I figure they take about 2qts each.
This is an old machine, so it was never designed with super-high tech lubrication in mind, and even if it was, my wallet can't accommodate a $400 pail of oil!
Anybody have any favorites?
