Hello All: I have used the Baldwin recipe for bushing lube of 7:1 for 20 years-gallons of the stuff. My experience: equally as effective and long lasting as Protek, and much less expensive. VM and P naptha is perfectly fine, leaves no residue and is available anywhere in quarts and gallons. Any paint store, hardware or home center will have it. Now the silicone is a bit harder to find, although someone mentioned a copy machine service center. Havn't tried them yet.
