Default Burke Millrite Spindle Bearings Access Plug

McMaster-Carr shows a gallon of Mobil machine/turbine DTE light for $11.98
which sounds reasonable to me. The next item down is Mobil spindle
bearing oil. I assume either in a comparable viscosity will serve? If I
can't find one or the other here in town I'll phone in an order.


Since SAE30 was recommended the spindle oil (ISO 22) may be
on the light side. SAE30 is approximately ISO 68 or 100,
which seems rather heavy to me. The DTE Light (ISO 32)
sounds like a good compromise. A comparable viscosity
quality hydraulic oil would also be OK and perhaps easier
to find locally in gallons.

Here's a good viscosity conversion chart.
