Steve,
Sewing machine oil is the bad one.  Clock oil has  R&O inhibitors in it 
and starts as a highly refined base stock.   It is OK and lasts for a 
very long time.  It is a bit thin however  and probably only should be 
used on governors.

is yellow and in an  oiler like on the clock site.  I always appreciate 
learning from  you.
