I don't know if I can fine a Golderrod in Canada. In Canada we have Princess Auto, it's the Canadian version of Harbor Freight. They have some oil cans like what Vinny sent the link for.
What oil do you guys use to oil these ports?

I use Mobil Vactra #2 way oil.
You can get the Golden Rod oil cans from Amazon Canada.

Depends on what is being lubed. I use way oil (actually chainsaw bar oil) only on the ways. Other lube points such as the cross feed screw, lead screw support bushing, etc I use hydraulic oil like what one can find in a farm & garden store.
