When I bought my R13 from Bill Brannen in 1976 he gave me a bottle of oil with a long needle nose dropper to dispense it. I asked him what kind of oil it was and he said 30 weight. Same as 30 weight motor oil.
When I sent my Powell flute in for cleaning and adjustments I found out they use Mobil 1 synthetic. Same as I use in my corvette.
The oil I got from Bill Brannen is gone, but I got some medium weight oil from the Doctor that I use now. My old repairman who played clarinet used to use STP on my sax. Go figure. They all seem to work well. What I learned here is I need to oil my instruments more.
