What't the lowest viscosity oil anyone has come across here? It looks like

How low are the clearances those bearings run at?



Look at Lilly White sewing machine oil.

What's so special about sewing machines? I've never torn one part, but know

They need a very clear, usually vegetable-based, oil that will not stain
or leave a permanent mark on fabrics.
