Mobil DTE 25 for the TT spindle and Marvel Air Tool Oil for the motor. I read that the TD124 motor runs at 1800 rpm so I went with the lower viscosity oil for it. After re-reading a bunch of threads on this subject there seems to be no definitive answer. Maybe Steve can chime in on this with his latest findings. I have a chart somewhere showing spindle rpm's with corresponding oil viscosity's. I'll try to dig it up to post.
