Type of oil for automatic oiler?

[TD-4242]

I have an old used machine in my home shop and the oiler alarm went off so I filled it up with some way oil. I then realized that it also oils the spindle. It's an old Acroloc and I have no maintenance manuals for it so I'm not sure what I should be putting in it. should I drain it and put spindle oil in it, leave it or is there some other type I should be using?

It will be fine if you are using the correct way oil like Vactra #2 or similar

I don't know the machine in question but I remember the Thermwoods I ran specified SAE5.

You are not in the same ballpark
