Labelle #108 correct " Oil " for my Lionel engines?

I use #107. 

The Labell O Gauge kit comes with 102 (thicker) gear lubricant, 106 Grease (for gear boxes) and 107 medium oil for wheels, axles, armatures and such.

108 is a little lighter than 107, but isn't worth getting upset over and will be adequate for most O gauge applications.

I have transitioned away from the Labelle kit as my volume of usage makes it expensve. I use Red n Tacky #2 and Mobile 1 Synthetic 5W30.

Are automotive products safe for toy trains? ( That sounds a little sarcastic. but I really don't know ).

Please try the OGR Search function, as there are literally dozens and dozens of threads covering proper lubrications for any and all train items.

Sorry, will do that. Still learning proper Forum rules.

Send me the email address you would like me to use & I will send you my file on "lubrication" that I have downloaded from sites over the years - will take you a bottle,of good wine or a six pack of beer to read the various opinions But it will be worth your time & read.

Don't make an apology my friend. The O-27/high rail section is a dumping ground for ALL SUBJECTS. People totally dis regard placing subjects in the proper places as OGR has organized. They do it because they get more attention here. So back on point- any quality light weight oil will work fine for you. Have a great time in the hobby. Nick

I've used 106 grease and 108 oil for years.  No problems with any of my trains, plus they are plastic-compatible in case some gets on a plastic part.  These are both a great place to start with lubricants in our hobby until you start to develop opinions and likes and dislikes about different products.
