34 forum posts 4 photos	Hello all, Which oil should I use? I have a Smart & Brown SABEL Lathe and would like some advice on which oil I should use. I haven't used the lathe much since obtaining it some months ago but am starting to use it more of late. The instruction book talks about Gargoyle DTE Oil Light but I have no idea where to obtain it. Any advice on this subject would be more than welcome. regards Brian

I could phone them but they are only there when I am at work, so basically I can't get in touch with them. I found something on eBay item No.171105075801 Do you good people think this is what I am looking for? regards Brian
