WTB Southbend Heavy 10

My manual called for i$o 68 Hyd oil in the head stock and gearbox. iso 32 in the apron. What is The Right Stuff?
That is the right stuff. What I use is Mobil DTE in 68 and 32 which is 20 wt for headstock and 10 wt for apron. And it's a circulating oil (Turbine Oil) Not Hydraulic oil, Turbine oils have EP additive packages. There is a lot of pressure on the bearings when you are taking a hefty cut.
