The advice to not tear down is misguided, especially for a machine that hasn't been used in quite a while and has dried oil all over it. South Bend's 10L and 10R lathes use a wicking system to get oil to where it is needed. If your wicks are caked/clogged up with dried oil, your machine could be oil starved and rapidly damaged by use. Unfortunately, the only way to get to these wicks is to tear the machine down.
I bought all four oils from Enco, now MSC, so you should still be able to get the gallon jugs from them. Also try McMaster.
Perhaps your post was in response to mine, dunno, but we may be interpreting the terms "rebuild" and "teardown" differently.
