I mostly use Turbine oil. At times 5W-30.

I use motor oil as per the Dillon manual. I don't use WD40 or any penetrating oils as per the Dillon manual.

I use Mobil 1 in a needle oiler for my Dillon 550. I probably lube it more than necessary. I keep a pan on the floor under it to catch the drips, but it's as tight as it was when brand new.

My LNL load gets a few shots from the grease gun. Couple for the ram and one in each linkage arm.
