40 weight oil for VPI SAMA seems too heavy...


I used a much lighter oil expressly for small electrical motors with an extension wand which made it very easy to lubricate the SAMA motor for my Super Scoutmaster. this eliminated noise and vibration which recently affected the motor. The 40 weight automotive oil recommended by VPI is for car engines and I think it's way too heavy for small motors like VPI/ What are your thoughts on this?

Marakanetz - I have the Michell Gyro II, what exactly do you lubricate in the motor? Do you remove the top of the motor? how often does it need to be lubricated? I never heard of this before. Thanks
