Hub oil question

[Tim s]

This is a hub that goes on a 1959 Schwinn Corvette. My question is how much and what kind of oil should I put in the hub? Thanks in advance for your help. Tim

I'm not familiar with that hub but most hubs with oil port require a lightweight oil.

I use 10/30 wt. Mobil 1 full synthetic, always have a few drops left in the bottles after changing my car oil. Spec is 20 wt I believe. And 3 drops before your annual once around the block ride.

As mentioned, just a few drops is all you need. Once or maybe twice a year if you ride regularly. You’ll know of you put to much in because it’ll all leak out and make a mess. Same oil you use on your chain is what I do.
