LIST OF LUBE OIL
1. “L” Lubrication.
The letter "L" stands for liquid lubrication oil.
In the event a watch-oiler is used, "one droplet of oil" means such quantity of oil as is found on the extreme
point of the watch-oiler when it is lined from the oil cup after soaking into oil at a 45
o
angle.
When the extreme point of the oiler is placed on the contact point of the parts to be oiled, oil will be
absorbed in the contact point because of the capillarity of oil. Watch carefully to assure that the oil from the
extreme point of the oiler is completely absorbed. When the oil on a brand-new oiler can not be easily
absorbed, grind the extreme point of the new oiler cither with a whetstone or a grinder to flatten its tip,
which will facilitate absorption.
"L" lubricant should never be exposed to the sunlight nor should it be stored under high temperature. Stale
oil kept in the oil cup for a long time should never be used. Wash the oil cup from time to time.
2. “G” Lubrication.
The letter "G" stands for grease.
"G" is not so easily absorbed as " L." Consequently, before putting the parts together, grease them first and
then assemble. Before assembling, put "G" mainly on shafts, which will make the job easier and ensure good
lubrication.
However, when greasing such parts as are not in a complete shaft bearing shape, for instance, slide surface,
grease them after assembly, and the job will be easier and better results will be assured.
Generally speaking, "G" has strong viscosity; and therefore, if by any chance, it is applied on parts where
greasing is unnecessary, it will result in mal-functioning of the parts so smeared. Strict care must
accordingly be exercised not to over-grease any parts.
