 Hi. I got my vintage hoover 700 up and running yesterday and i used vaseline on all the moving parts and bearings. Unlike oil it wont evaporate or dry out in time and will constantly lubricate the parts and prevent any rust or dryness.
As an example i have a padlock on my garage door. I bought the lock and the first thing i did was stuff vaseline inside the lock and 12 years later the outside is rusted but it stil works like the day i got it as the inside mechanism is rust free. That is what i swear by anyway but if you must use oil maybe try 3 in 1 oil. Hopefully someone else can tell you different as that might not be an oil to use on vacs. I dont want to give you wrong advice and would not want you to break your numatic vac. | ||

I'm going to try the vaseline, it sounds good. I normally drop some 3 in 1 oil into closed bearings. Anything I can split open, or stip to component form gets repacked with some ancient Castrol grease. | ||

I use sae 30 non detergent oil, I think everyone has a preference on type, but I've heard this is usually good. | ||
