Crankcase lubrication

Can anyone please tell me what the best oil is to use in the 735A crankcase? Would this be the same oil I should squirt on the moving parts of the EX?

Thanks, Kobus</HTML>

<HTML>Stanley recommended Mobil "C", which was SAE 160 Gear Oil. SAE 140 straight mineral gear oil is still available, I have used it for some thirty years. Avoid any oil with "extreme pressure" or "hypoid" additives, they will attack any copper based parts.</HTML>
