Lubrication Handbook/Recommendation

[hector002]

Anyone have a reference for a good lubraction handbook.

I am interested in tables/charts of the viscosities and densities of various lubricants.

Specifically I am looking for a low viscosity newtonian oil. SAE 10W is too thick (cant find info on 5W). Are there any other options other than motor oils?

Depending on your end use.
There are two that are readily available, Hydraulic Shock Absorber Oil and Turbine Oil (ISO 32).
