Only the big gears need Red-And-Tacky. You need something
tacky enough to stay on.

For everything else that needs greasing, I use white moly grease.
For oil, 0-20W full synthetic motor oil.

Don't use anything where the light fractions evaporate and
leave the asphalt components behind. I've had to repair a machine
where someone did that, and it took weeks.

Get one of those oiling pens that dispenses one drop per push, for
all those bearings that are one per key and one per typebar.

Bulletin 138, rev 4 seems fine.
