It's a lubricating oil that apparently is pretty amazing stuff. I personally have not tried it but it gets really good reviews by those who have. I am in Canada...it's in the states...pricy.

It's a "penetrating" oil-- Not an oil I'd use in a jukebox as a "lubricant" ! I like Tri-flow, brand, penetrating oil. Ron Rich

I’m going to be oiling for the first time my new to me SS160. My Seeburg manual shows that the Seeburg brand oil viscosity was ISO grade 208 (at 100 degrees Fahrenheit), which corresponds to SAE viscosity grade of about 50. I also see in a different Seeburg manual an “improved” Seeburg oil that had a lower viscosity grade than the original Seeburg oil — ISO 150, which corresponds to SAE viscosity grade of about 40. Both these Seeburg-brand oils were thicker than the SAE 20 grade oil recommended here. Can anyone explain why Seeburg’s specified oils are thicker? Or, have I misunderstood something about this? Thanks very much! Here are links to images of the Seeburg oils. drive.google.com/file/d/1mXosKTG2YdsJutUfnDYqCvkXKZYRjRle/view?usp=sharingdrive.google.com/file/d/1k4o6bKB9W6edoNC-s9EQkSmu5kQi2tdz/view?usp=sharing |

Hi Eric,
The first can is a very early can of Seeburg oil-- the last can is what would have been sold in the SS-160 age-- I don't know about the stats mentioned there, but I can assure you, Seeburg oil after the model C, at least, was SAE 20 wt. ND in those cans ! Ron Rich

Could you then use a 20 wt ND that comes in a quart (like motor oil)?

The Dixson #3 grease that Ron had. I found some on the Asbury.com website. I am going to ask them if small quantities are available. Did anyone ever post a source to buy "wet graphite grease"? #2 is normal (thickness/viscosity), #3 is industry "firm". At Harbor Freight off the shelf there are small grease gun tubes of moly grease with graphite. On Amazon there is "Graphite grease 2207 Lubricant", from Technicqll in a squeeze tube.

New user and I’ve thoroughly read this thread before asking, but I’m trying to sort out the right grease to pack in Rock-Ola gripper and carousel motors. Seems like most of this thread relates to oiling various parts.
Seems like any lithium or graphite grease might be ok, but I’ve found online discussions about NLGI #2 and #3 greases. Am I overthinking this, does it matter lithium/graphite or #2/#3? - Something completely different?

I suspect you are overthinking it, for the motor gearboxes I just use bearing grease.
