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.
