I have beengiving Featherweight owner maintenance classes for over 14 years now and do not understand why there is such a variation in the color of the lubricant, but have seen the new, unopened tubes still in the original package because I helped to open and get it ready to use. The class participants swore that they had just purchased it a couple a days before at the LQS. So, it could be white! Just be sure that the tube says "Singer lubricant" on it was it was purchased new, not one that has been in with the sewing machine for several decades. Singer item #S2129 is mostly blue with red text, yellow and white trim.
The lubricant is used for the gears and on the two ports that lubricate the motor. (Only places to use lubricant). If we are talking oil, then there is a lot more information, but think right now we are only talking lubricant.
