Let's assume you discover your pump is totally dry on a weekend job
and your jug of vacuum pump oil is empty and Johnstone Supply is
closed until Monday. Now let's also assume there's a NAPA auto parts
nearby with a wide selection tranny fluid, hydraulic fluid, compressor
oil and motor oil.
Is there a substitute oil that'll do the job without damaging your
pump until you can get the right stuff?
If so, what's the best short term substitute??

Go inside and ask for a guy named "Turtle"...

If memory serves, Turtle used to use ND-30 motor oil. Anyone else
remember that?
