I know you promote this as the best lubricant. I have been to two auto supply stores and Wal-Mart and none of them carry any such product. The closest I could find is 30 weight Non-Detergent.

Where do you buy the 20 weight Non-Detergent?

Hi Darrell,
Any GOOD auto parts store, can (if they want to), order it. Many oil producers make it. Some hardware stores carry it in the 3inOne branded, 3 oz cans (NOT "Multi-purpose/household" oil). Lowes here, also has it. Ron Rich

After calling several more businesses, it appears no one wants to order any 20W non-detergent oil. I see a case of it on eBay and on Amazon for over $60.00 a case. I have no need for that much oil. 3in1 oil does not have a long enough tube to reach the hard to get locations.

I will figure something out. I know you have suggested a nail.

Would any of these oils work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-OZ-SEWING-MAC ... 3a518db920

Darrell,
I would not use them--but you can use the container--just re-fill it with 20 wt. --or purchase a "Seeburg Oiler" --search "Valve Spout oiler--Longs" and I think you will find the one I have had for over 40 years--Ron Rich

Hi,
I bought 3 quarts of AMSOIL iso 46 Compressor Oil (Synthetic) for my jukes. It is 20W oil.
20W non detergent oil is used in compressors. Just search AMSOIL web site and it is synthetic as well. Cost me about $ 9.00 a quart.
Hope this helps...
Tony
