The manufacturer of my old vacuum pump told me to just get
some SAE 30 non-detergent motor oil and use that.

Compressor oil is cheaper than engine oil, as it doesn't need the
detergent & additive package.

Be careful where you buy it though. Like most oils, it's cheaper to
buy it in a gallon can from a commercial supplier than in a pint can
>from  a domestic retail shop. I get mine from the same motor factor
where I buy my fan belts and head gaskets.
