I used Jojoba oil on Bruce Bauer's recommendation in his book. It is not expensive and seem to work well, at least when relatively light and salt free use is concerned. I do have gun oil here but the Jojoba oil seems to be less prone to collecting unwanted dust and particles. -----Original Message----- From: Alexandre Eremenko Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2012 6:35 PM To: zvidoron@btinternet.com Subject: [NavList] Re: Oil for Sextants, Chronometers, etc. I am still using SNO-T oil which came with it, but because the supply is finite, I bought a little bottle of "sextant oil" from Celestaire. With my rate of use, it will last for my lifetime:-) Alex.
