Cameflex CM3 Eclair lubrication oil question

Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend an oil for lubricating the Cameflex CM3? I know the manual suggest Esso oil 8119, which I'm unable to find. 

Will something like Liberty clock oil work?

Thanks for any knowledge on this matter.

I’m sure a good quality clock oil would work fine.

If you make friends with a rental house that rents film cameras their service department might let you have a little Arri Chronosynth oil or you may even be able to buy some from Arri but unless you’re planning to run tens of thousands of feet through the Cameflex I think any light, good quality synthetic machine oil would be ok.
