I bought mine at Harbor Freight.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. Superlube is what an industrial supply place sold me when I was looking for triflow grease here in Canada. I finally found the oil, but never the lube on this side of the country anyway.

I buy a tube of oil from Wal-Mart which my tech. said was fine for the gears. He said to use the liquid oil for the oil holes and bobbin teeth. Never have any trouble with my featherweight, which is what I was mentioning in the oiling question above. Mariah
