I'm working on an old Singer industrial overlocker for my daughter.It's been sitting for a few years,so I'm just giving it a clean up and getting it going again.The oil is a bit low - so what sort of oil do they take?Sewing machine oil is not on my suppliers list.What is sewing machine oil....and what is the nearest thing I can find to it?

You can buy Singer branded sewing machine oil at Wal-mart. Otherwise an iso-10 or iso-22 spindle oil is the pretty much the same thing (like Mobil Velocite)
oops...Bruce I didn't read your post. Sorry for the redundancy
No Walmart here.Thanks guys,I'll get some hydraulic oil...just a bit difficult at this time of year.I'll use some compressor oil to top it up,then change it when the world starts again.
Would that be Albatross Lily White

This machine is not listed there,I'm having a bit of trouble finding any info on it.It's a 990 E10,Made in Great Britain in 1974.It's got some pretty rugged build quality compared to a home model,the machine is small,but it's like picking up an anvil.
