Clausing specifies "plain old vanilla" (non-multiviscosity) oil for their 8530 Mill.
I am in the Phoenix metro area and my only results so far in searching in person and via phone is a smile and a "good luck" comment. Respectfully request any helpful hints, suggestions or a known source. Hal K.

Re: Where Buy SAE 20?
Hal,
Single viscosity oil is not that hard to find. Try locating a "factory supply", a "tool supply" or "industrial supply" in your area. You might even try Sears tool dept. Or you can get it on line at places like www.mcmaster.com or www.use-enco.com or www.mscdirect.com just to mention a few of the top of my head. You also want non-detergent sae 20 oil.

Have any Tractor Supply Co. or farm type store nearby. I think you might be in the desert so if this suggestion was funny go ahead and laugh1

Re: Where Buy SAE 20?
Hal, go to any bulk oil supplier. There is one very close to where Freightliner used to be and I think their name is Canyon State Oil. I used to buy oil there in 55 gal drums. Call them and be sure you can buy a small amount before you go. I know SAE 30 you can find anywhere, even walmart, but I don't know about 20 wt.
