I hate fooling with water soluable stuff, had been using MObil Gamma
IIRC, but have since changed to regular automatic transmission fluid,
in both the lathe, mill and horizontal bandsaw.......I don't notice
any differences. If I need a dark or sulphurized fluid I usualy apply
it with an oil can and let it mix with the ATF.....
