(used for HVAC) systems, also wax free turbine oil ISO-32 is good, I used texaco WF-32 (ISO 32 weight) or chevron refrigeration-32 oil or similar 7-10 SAE / ISO-32 weight clear oil.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-20-2016 04:21 PM                     Road tar works well in a Simplex. Then they also stop leaking. Mark  |  IP: Logged
