Okay, I'm confused again. Thought this would be an easy one but...
I think I'm good with the Velocite Oil 10 - Enco #505-2002
From there I get a little lost. The "old" chart calls for Vactra Oil Light (Type B) and Vactra Oil Heavy Medium (Type C).
As Type B is for gearbox/drive I can see going with the DTE, ISO 32 as it states "For bearings, gears, hydraulics, ..." but it is only available in 5 gal. containers. The Vactra doesn't come as low as ISO 32 it bottoms out at ISO 68. What should I get for my Type B for the gearbox?
Most everything else is Type C and I assume whatever oil I select for this will also be used for the "Bed Way Lubricant" mentioned on the bottom of the old oil chart. Is that correct? Now if I get this right, for my Type C I'd be looking at the Vactra No. 2 ISO 68. I know Steve has the DTE ISO 68 listed but it sits in my mind better to go with something actually listed as a "Way Oil Lubricant" if that's what I'm using it for (Yeah, and general usage as well.) It's still a little confusing as the "old" chart says Vactra Oil Heavy Medium but the Vactra No. 2 is just Medium, going to Vactra No. 3 or 4 goes to ISO 150 and 220 respectively and not what is called for.
So, bottom line, get the Velocite 10 and Vactra No. 2 and just order 5 gal. of DTE ISO 32 or did I miss something (likely
)

Oh, and thanks for the heads-up on the oil cans. I have a number of them that are probably older than my lathe, but those you pointed out would be much spiffier. I plan to get a couple.
