Just a quick question to those of you who may have already been down this road. I recently switched to synthetic valve oil and slide grease on my two piston tubas. But both of these tubas have a rotary 5th valve. I'm used to putting 3-in-1 oil on the top of my rotary valves to keep the top bearing quiet. But I don't have a synthetic equivalent. Anybody know of a synthetic oil that is close to the same viscosity of 3-in-1? Thanks for any info you can provide!
