Thank you for your input Robbie. I am aware of the above already, I was
hoping to get a consensus of opinions for the best oil to use in the
Wurlitzer Splash System gear standards. This system specifically
converts the motor shaft to the pumping action. Wurlitzer specifies
"lightweight motor oil" Any opinions? This is for a Wurlitzer A, APP
roll playing machine.

Thank you in advance for the help,
