quickly quoth:

I'm not a fan of the SAE 30 oils for machine lubrication. They smell
too much and are not thick enough IMHO. More and more I use 90W
hypoid gear oil for everything. Seems to make a good way oil also.
Off the rack at your local auto store. Not expensive.

You LIKE the stench of hypoid gear lube?!? Feh! I prefer skunk.
