bought a a three ounce can of 3-in-1 SAE 20 oil for electric motor bearings,
and I have had it since I bought my '66 1600 in 1971.  Ace Hardware carries
it, as probably other non big-box stores do as well.

you shine a small flashlight down the bore.  I figured it was put there for a
reason, so I have allways filled them to that point.  Seems to work.
