My new Lathe calls out for a "high grade SAE 30 machine oil" it also says
it should have corrosion inhibiators. What are you guys using in your

My Lansing lathe has no oil nameplate, so I have no idea waht it calls
for. I used Valvoline SAE30 out of quart bottles bought from an auto
store. Been working for over 20 years.

Thank You,
Randy
