Back in November, you mentioned the Teflon angle, so that's what I asked about. If I can find that guy again, I'll ask about the Synthetic part. I just figure that if Singer's messing with their formula, and there's been roughly 80 years of innovation since, maybe like the TF oil that didn't exist at the time, there is an alternative out there. These motors aren't -that- unique, or that complex for that matter. I'd hate to think that these motors need to be binned because of a lack of options down the road. If the synthetic has a similar "melt" point to Vaseline, it might be worth a look.
Otherwise, someone on the Slant yahoo group says that Vaseline is indistinguishable from Singer Lube.
edit: Hmm,.. both Tri-Flow and SuperLube are "non-melting", and Vaseline "melts" at body temperature.
