They ought to sell this stuff in a health food store. It's sure good for what ails you. It even whitens your teeth. Slappy, you really need to quit milking those snakes. They'll bite you some day. Seriously, I use the manufacturers oil and I don't know why. The proper weight motor oil should work fine. Hell, even an improper weight oil would probably work great.
