    Any one have any recommendation on what oil to drop into the Generator Tube?

    I was going to use what I had on hand (5w-30 engine oil) and use by oil can to drop in a few drops, but before I do, I thought I would see what everyone else is using?


    Truck-3100 53 Chevy with a 235 engine.

    That's correct ~ I recommend 30 weight and only three drops as the engine is running . too many drops will cause problems .

    Once the rig is running you can replace the brushes, NAPA sells them and usually no need to machine the commutator .
