I ran into a similar problem locating SAE 20 weight  non-detergent oil for 
my Atlas lathe last year.  Auto parts places (at  least the nearest 15 or so 
to me) no longer carry 20 weight.  3-in-1 does  sell 20W  and I bought one 
can but it is fairly expensive for the small  can.  After some checking 
around, I settled on Mobile DTE Circulating  Oil, Heavy-Medium.  Late last year 
it was $21.48/gal from Enco.

This is a topic that is always bubbling away not far from the  surface,
hi.

When Don says not to use 3-in-1 oil I assume he is  talking about
the kind in the red-white-black can.  It is indeed too  light for
Teletype use.  However the 3-in-1 brand also has a 20 wt  oil in
a blue and white can and that seems to be quite  usable.
