This seems like a good option. https://www.lowes.com/pd/PRO-SELECT-1-Gallon-AW-32-Hydraulic-Oil/1053693Thanks for the feedback. I’m somewhat familiar with turbine oil and it is really different with the additives and when the name plate says turbine oil I just wanted to make sure. This lubes the upper shaft bearing as well as the thrust shoes or bearing.
Why use MMO with a 30 grade oil when MMO will thin it below a 30 grade?i know this is a old thread,at work we had a couple large old fan motors and straight 30 wt oil mixed with half marvel mystery oil,,,they used this for years like this
30 grade is generally around ISO100 so MMO will probably thin it closer to ISO 46 or ISO 68Why use MMO with a 30 grade oil when MMO will thin it below a 30 grade?
So how much MMO is added to get it down to near ISO 68?30 grade is generally around ISO100 so MMO will probably thin it closer to ISO 46 or ISO 68
From what I can find MMO is around 7CSt at 40C, so around 30-40% MMO in SAE30 should get you somewhere around ISO68.So how much MMO is added to get it down to near ISO 68?
My point was, that unless you tested a number of mixes for its final viscosity how did you know how much MMO to add?i know this is a old thread,at work we had a couple large old fan motors and straight 30 wt oil mixed with half marvel mystery oil,,,they used this for years like this
