3B diaphragm oil

Where could I get this kind of oil? What is the difference compared to motor oil?

Just a drop or two. I've never done it. But have a spare diaphragm sitting in wait for my idle to climb....

Try a pharmacy or Tack Shop, great for all leather products.

Whenever I see a post mentioning Neatsfoot oil I have a good chuckle about a mailing list conversation years ago about those poor neats. Of course at that time we did not have the discussion that Neat is an Old English word for cattle.

I picked some up at a Saddle Shop a few years back.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered one bottle of this from Japan ($12.99 shipped):

Oh I'm pretty sure the first time I heard about it was from you @Greg_B

Do you still dabble in the parts business? I tried to look up G&S and could not find anything....

I do not through G&S. @70sguy still does though. Shoot him a PM if looking for something specific.
