For the last couple of years, I have been using a variety of lubricants for my spinning wheel.
Now, I seem to be settling firmly on Royal Purple synthetic oil. It is sold in auto parts stores as a high performance motor oil grade SAE 0W-40, API service SM. I had been thinking of ball bearings for the flyer/bobbin assembly but the synthetic oil is easier.
The price is just under $10/ quart, so get the whole guild together and buy enough for everyone.
I put a small magnet in my oil bottle. The magnet holds the bottle handy against a steel bolt in the frame of the wheel.
