Just wondering what everyone uses?
I've been running the old school Trinity oil forever, but my supply is just about out. Is there something newer better I'm missing?

Or whatever reel bearing oil that you can find locally. Just be sure to get oil, not one of the high speed lubricants (like Hot Sauce).

Bronze bushings are best served by straight oil.
Bushings can be heated until the point when oil starts running out and quench it into clean oil.
Once the oil leaving the bearing is clean it's done.

Nice, thanks for posting. This stuff is 3.2 times cheaper per volume than the 1UP Racing clear bearing oil I've been buying, which only comes in an 8ml bottle.
