[R-390] Synthetic Oil

[Tisha Hayes]

I still use Mobil 1 synthetic cut with the magic powder. One quart will
last you forever.

Some of the things I found that were interesting was the oil that is used
by roller-blades by the skater crowd. It seems like more hype than anything
else. It is just a teflon based lubricant.

Another I found was on an audiophile (record turntables) site where they
get really obsessive about the spindle bearings and count how many
revolutions the turntable takes after power is cut off (seems somewhat
scientific). That oil seems a bit lightweight and appears to be better
suited for the little turbine motors in air tools.

A pen oiler would be nice but a toothpick seems easier to control
quantities so the radio does not get an oil bath.
