Spindle oil


What oil are people using to lubricate their spindle bearing?

I use maiden oil. They ought to sell this stuff in a health food store. It's sure good for what ails you. It even whitens your teeth.

Slappy, you really need to quit milking those snakes. They'll bite you some day.

Seriously, I use the manufacturers oil and I don't know why. The proper weight motor oil should work fine. Hell, even an improper weight oil would probably work great.
Along with about a half dozen other projects i have going right now, i'm in the process of slowly setting up two different tables. While they don't mention the suitability of this product for use in turntable's, i'm probably going to try using TufOil in one of them. Since it is the most slippery substance known to man, i can't see anything doing a better job of lubricating the bearing / reducing drag on the motor. Sean

I had a Rega P3 for 17 years and never lubricated it with anything and never had a problem or never became aware of something different; I have had my P9 for 2 or so years, how do you know they need re-lubrication?
I use sewing machine oil. It is available at,
well, a sewing machine store. There is natural and
man-made stuff. I use the man-made stuff.
