Recommended Lubricant??

[domer]

Hello I was hoping someone could tell me what is the recommended lubricant for the distributor and the generator on my 59 Cadillac? How much do I use and how often? A local parts store mentioned 3 In 1 Oil. I just wanted to make sure this was ok before purchasing.

On the generator, the manual calls for 8-10 drops of medium weight engine oil every 2000 miles.

On the dizzy, bring the oil up to the top of the filler tube with 10w engine oil every 2000 miles.

In other words use a squirt can and service these units midway between oil changes.
