Youre set for linears. You'll want some oils for springs. People tend to vary in opinion on whether the thicker or middle ground oils are better. I think 103/104 are fine on the light end, but use 106 on linears with 205g0 personally. VPF1514 is popular also, its viscosity is in between 103 and104. If you want grease for tactiles get some 3203 or Christo mcg 111. There's a new guy that's selling it here. 205g0 is probably the best stab lube, but you could also get some cheaper stuff like superlube multipurpose grease which is very cheap for the grade 2 stuff, main complaint there is that its much thicker than 205g0. I just purchased a huge thing of grade 0 superlube if you want some and are in the US, shipping was pretty expensive so I'm offering it to the community for anyone that doesnt want a pound of it with crazy shipping cost.
