[R-390] Synthetic Oil

[Barry]

I have a small bottle (maybe 2 oz.) of Mobil 1 that has lasted me for years now.  Just thought this stuff might be a better lubricant.  I'd never heard of it before today, though, and that's why I asked.

One thing I notice in some of their FAQs is it apparently doesn't have a very high viscosity as it is not recommended for use in damping tone arms so it might be pretty thin.

Thanks,
