Hello all,

Which oil should I use?

I have a Smart & Brown SABEL Lathe and would like some advice on which oil I should use. I haven't used the lathe much since obtaining it some months ago but am starting to use it more of late.

The instruction book talks about Gargoyle DTE Oil Light but I have no idea where to obtain it.

Any advice on this subject would be more than welcome.

regards

Brian

Graham is right about tthis being a pre-Exxon/Mobil brand of Mobil's.

Since DTE Light is stated to be Viscosity of 32 ISO Grade,I would anticipate that any of the 32 Hydraulic oils that we use would suit, ie ESSO NUTO 32 for instance or Castrol HYSPIN 32 which are typically used in lathe headstocks.

Thanks for the reply people.

I would have liked to contact Mobil to check with them but there is no email link on their site. I could phone them but they are only there when I am at work, so basically I can't get in touch with them.

I found something on eBay item No.171105075801

Do you good people think this is what I am looking for?

regards

Brian
