Hi
Rn I'm using a Hetman number 11 rotor oil for my valve and because they no longer exist I need to find an alternative.
Any recommended brands?
Thanks.
P.S. Do they also have a valve links lubricant?

I use monster oil purely for the Amazon prime convenience, works as good as any others in my experience. They’ve got different weights: Light, heavy, and linkage.

If looking for a like for like J. Meinlschmidt offers an almost identical product lineup. Available to techs through Allied Supply and for sale elsewhere as well. Not quite as extensive a lineup but comprehensive none the less.

Related question: When switching to the new oil do I need to completely clean the valves or can I use the new oil on top the old?
