When you need oil for your machine, many types of oil will work – even motor oil. However, the best oil to use is oil designed specifically for lubricating machine ways. This type of oil has an additive that helps the oil stick to the surface.

Mobil Vactra Oil Numbered Series products are recommended for the lubrication of machine tool slideway systems. They are designed for use with combinations of cast iron, steel and non-metallic way materials. Mobil machine oil may be applied by hand, forced-feed lubricator or in flood application by circulation system.

Mobil Vactra Oil No. 2 is also suitable for circulating application in large machines and as a moderate duty hydraulic fluid. Mobil machine oil can be used for lubrication of ball screws, linear guides, headstocks, translating screws.

Thomas Z. ★★★★★

I needed a proper lubricant for my lathe ways, and this stuff has just the right viscosity to stay put without dripping off. It's noticeably smoother than the 3-in-1 I was using, and the pint bottle should last me a good while.

Steven ★★★★★

Finally found an oil that doesn't run off my lathe's ways constantly—the added tackiness keeps it right where I need it. A pint is plenty for several applications, and it's noticeably smoother than the 3-in-1 I was using before.

Stella X. ★★★★★

Sticks to the ways without gumming up like some other oils I've tried. The viscosity feels just right for my milling machine, and a little goes a long way.
