From: Built_Well on 2 Nov 2007 01:26 The jack manual also says, "A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles, and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that wheels, casters, and pump assemblies move freely." Unfortunately, the manual doesn't recommend any brand names or specific types of light lubricating oils. Anyone have any ideas for what to use?

Anyone have any ideas for what to use? Motor oil works well. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)

Anyone have any ideas for what to use? I usually put the jacks apart, replace the seals and clean everything every couple of years. I use a synthetic (Pentosin CHF 11S) simply because it works better when the oil gets cold. That is a BIG thing if you grab a jack to use on a wrecker or on a vehicle in the yard. The jack in the home shop on the other hand has been changed once (had it for about 20 years..) As for lubing the jack, I use motorcycle chain lube. Sprays on thin and gets in the bearings then the carrier evaporates leaving a nice coating of lube behind. - Steve W. Near Cooperstown, New York

Anyone have any ideas for what to use? I'd interpret that to mean something similar to 3-In-One Multi-purpose oil.
