Valvoline 5-20W synthetic motor oil, and lithium grease on the gears
and sliding points.  Empire Level precision oiler for oiling hard to
reach places.

The Model 33 isn't designed for the intensive oiling of a model 15,
though. The Model 15 has actual oil fill points.  The Model 33
was designed for a shorter life - 1 year continuous with no oiling,
3 years continuous with oiling.
