To buy the right oil you need to know SAE viscosity index and API quality oil for diesel or gasoline engine. You can select any Brand from the listed. more
Example: for gasoline engines Jeep Compass (2nd generation) 2017, suitable multigrade semisynthetic oil 10W-50 quality SN. For types made in 2021, for the cold season, recommended only synthetics 0W-50 \ SN. more
If possible, check the selected oil for compliance with the manufacturers specifications and service intervals.
Are there differences in mineral oil types? I filled it with some that I bought that is very heavy and it makes the card turn very slowly. Like everybody else I've got paint thinner on the garage shelf collecting dust, guess I'll give that a try next. Thanks for the responses. And Luckyjim, I think that may be true bearing grease that you were referring too? here

I was once told by a factory rep at Ritchie
. at Lowes and Home Depot. The gallon is $12, you can get it by the quart. Jack
Hamilton Marine sells Isopar L for 35.99.. Quote Jim: "however compasses should never be filled with mineral SPIRITS" Ritchie USED ODORLESS MINERAL SPIRITS UNTIL 2001. I WAS PERSONALLY TOLD BY RULE THEY USE THE SAME FLUID AS RITCHIE. Jim I DID NOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!! PLEASE DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND READ THE RITCHIE WEB SITE! The link is bellow. I would really question your "compass guy" about "however compasses should never be filled with mineral SPIRITS"? Maybe print out what Ritchie says and ask him? From FAQ's: "What type of fluid is in my Ritchie Magnetic Compass? Until 2001, all Ritchie compasses (see exception) were filled with odorless mineral spirits. Ritchie now uses a fluid called Isopar L® that has similar properties but some added benefits over odorless mineral spirits. These can be mixed together." AND: "My Ritchie Compass has a bubble or is very low on fluid. Is this a problem? Ritchie compasses are designed to not have a bubble; if you see a bubble, there is a leak. This may seem unlikely to you, because you may not have noticed any fluid escaping from the compass. Ritchie compasses are filled with Isopar L® or odorless mineral spirits. Both tend to evaporate before it is noticeable. Bubbles may cause a number of problems, so it is recommended that you have the compass repaired as soon as possible." Personally I tend to agree with what one of the largest manufacturers of marine compasses uses. Sometimes local "experts" are not.. I'm not an expert and never claim to be! I'm ONLY referencing MANUFACTURER information and passing it on so you can make your OWN decision and that seems to be "local expert" or two manufacturers stating they use the same fluid which is odorless mineral spirit based and prior to 2001 WAS odorless mineral spirits? Just trying to help! If your compass guy told you to use Isopar L it is basically a highly refined version odorless mineral spirits with higher flash points. Isopar M should not be used in a compass designed for Isopar L or odorless mineral spirits. Here's what Ritchie has to say (I know you don't have a Ritchie but Rule told me they use the same fluid (perhaps the Rule line of compasses is now made by Ritchie seeing as they defer to them on fluid?: "Ritchie began using Isopar L as dampening fluid during 2001. This fluid is a high-purity isoparaffinic solvent very similar to Odorless Mineral spirits. Ritchie changed to this fluid because it has a higher flash point and conforms to most of the world's shipping regulations. It is important to note that some other manufacturers use Isopar M as their dampening fluid. PLEASE NOTE: ISOPAR M CANNOT BE USED IN RITCHIE COMPASSES." Again, these are NOT my words!
Is only sold by the gallon from Rule. They told me it's the same exact stuff Ritchie uses and it's what they have been using for years! Ritchie uses Isopar L now and used to use Odorless Mineral Spirits! Perhaps your diaphragms failed because someone filled them with Mineral Oil instead of odorless mineral spirits.. I called them for you to get a real answer. So Ritchie and Rule use the same product! Isopar L or Odorless Mineral Spirits hope this helps. When in doubt, and the thread turns into a use this or NO use this, the manufacturer usually comes through.. You never stated what the compass was in the OP so I guessed the most common, being Ritchie.. [links]
Pay now or pay latter. here
All mineral oils are not the same. Some will eat rather quickly through seals and diaphragms. Are being overcharged for this formulated oil? The answer is yes, but the alternative of having to repeat the job sooner than latter is no bargain. [links]
