Well, it looks like I will have 12 tubes of Super-Lube for greasing gears, should last a lifetime. I did an experiment on my lunch today using the original Singer lube in the lead tube & Super Lube. I heated up a small amount on a thin piece of metal and the Singer lube liquified after a short time. The Super-Lube never came close to liquifying. I also read some info that Super Lube has no dropping point so it will never liquify. I see on sew classic blog that as of 2013 she no longer recommends the Singer lube do to a higher melting point and recommends Vaseline instead, which is kind of what the original vintage Singer lube feels like. I will have to let my friend know what I have learned on this lubricant, but I'm sure he won't want to hear it.
I guess I might have to get my own user ID........................
Thanks everyone for your input.
I am ((almost)) thinking that some of the high tech synthetic oil's might be a possibility.
