Jam, when you first mentioned ZoomSpark perhaps your spellchecker was hyper-active and you meant Zoom Spout. I think it’s this product, right?

OK, so that is ISO 32 (at the bottom of this page) paraffin oil, not too far from the ISO 37 measured by the lab. When you consider that the oil tested probably had gummed up somewhat after 30 years, plus had lead particles added, it might have been right around 32 anyway when it was new. I think we’ve converged.
I admire your willingness to test and experiment here. Changing oil in a Micro Seiki bearing is not quite as easy as changing interconnects or rolling tubes 😀 If and when I do mine I would like it to be the only oil change I ever have to do, and this discussion and your experience have helped enormously to understand what’s needed.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
