[GreenKeys] Zoomspout oil

[Paul Heller]

I live in a part of the country where evaporative cooling is common. I use this nifty oil on the bearings of my cooler:

Sometimes it is marketed locally as evaporative cooler oil. The nice part is the that the spout pulls out of the bottle and becomes a foot long or so spout to get into tiny places. It is perfect for reaching into the cooler to get to the bearings on the blower axle.

I was thinking this setup would be perfect for getting into some of the tight places in the teletype.

But I'm guessing the oil is probably wrong. It is listed as ConocoPhillips/Unocal 76 Turbine Oil. It is a 10 weight oil. You folks know a lot more than I do about what oil is safe / best to use in the teletype. Is my guess correct?

If the oil is wrong, I might reuse the bottle once all the cooler oil is gone (although a a few drops each season that might never happen in my lifetime...)
