Someone should investigate:

Mobil Velocite Oil No. 6
Spindle Oil Light

I got a gallon at Grainger industrial supply house for about 10 bucks  
some years ago.  I investigated it back then and it seemed to be rated  
at no 5 or no 10.  (there was some  system of weight other than the  
one used for motor  oil also mentioned.)

   Exxon Mobil VELOCITE No 6	  Oil,Bearing
Spindle Bearing Oil, SAE Grade Lower than 5 Wt, ISO Viscosity Grade  
10, Viscosity SUS @ 100 Degrees Fahrenheit 59, Flash Point 310 Degrees  
Fahrenheit   Grainger item  4F974  One gallon quantity now $19, Also  
can get 5 gallon tub.

Grainger   offers   the Medium grade in 5 gallon tubs: Item no:  4F970
Exxon Mobil VELOCITE No 10
Spindle Bearing Oil, SAE Grade Lower than 5 Wt, Viscosity Index 22,  
Viscosity SUS @ 100 Degrees Fahrenheit 107, Flash Point 360 Degrees  
Fahrenheit, Pour Point 25 Degrees Fahrenheit, Container Size 5 Gallons  
Pail, Product Head Velocite Number 10

There is also a VELOCITE Oil No. 3, apparently thinner than the No. 6   
(Do check it's viscosity at 100 F... and compare with just posted  
Teletype spec.)
