[GreenKeys] Zoomspout oil

[DR HOUSE]

Teletype recommended 20 weight oil in normal temperatures.  Somewhere  
here I have a copy of their suggestions.

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...)
