No issues with pumping? Interesting. I need to change my Monarch's lube have plenty of vactra 2.I use Mobil Vactra 2 or P 47 way oil in Lathe head-stocks and aprons.

many equivalents are 1/2 the cost . in the billion dollar oil industry... do you really think one would be sub-standard to another.
i call BS on that . and, unless you drive a high -compression device, like a corvette or a chainsaw- you don't need a high-octane gas. ............
You might want to actually read what it says on the web site. Top Tier Gas is an industry standard that has to do with detergent content, not octane.

Well interesting. Where I live every drop of gasoline comes from the same refinery. All of it. I can assure you that they don't flip a switch to make top tier and switch back. Whatever brand you buy in Tucson ,it all comes from the same refinery in El Paso. If there is a difference it occurs as the truck is loaded at the pipeline terminal. Octane rating, for instance, is determined by how much alcohol is added. So much for any significant difference.
To the OP,
These folks have a fairly good web site and you can glean alot of info on lubricants from them.

Dian Sir,
I don't think 'turbine' is a translation issue. It's term that is used to describe oils that separate from water rapidly. Think of a steam turbine and it's lubrication needs and the need to get the water out of the oil before it is reused in the system. Detergent oils tend to collect and hold water ( til it is cooked out or strained out, think internal combustion engine) where as turbine oils separate from water almost immediately.
Hope that helps
Stay safe

PS the the OP.. Nice machine BTW
