Lubrication Handbook/Recommendation

Lubrication Handbook/Recommendation

Lubrication Handbook/Recommendation

(OP)
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?

RE: Lubrication Handbook/Recommendation

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