10" Heavy oil to use

[Abody711]

Ready to start reassembling my 10" heavy. The rebuild book calls for 4 different oils to be used. Is everyone running 4 different oils? If not which oil do you use and where do you buy it. I don't need 5 gallons of oil.

For everything except the spindle bearings, I use ISO 64 way oil. For the spindle bearing I believe it is 10 weight machine oil, but that I can't verify as it's the oil I got from SB 50 years ago.

I use all four of the oils. They are all available in one gallon jugs.

I use Mobil #10 spindle oil in my 2 SB lathes.
