I inherited an old Skil model 77, type 13, worm drive saw. This is the
first saw that I have ever owned that has an oil reservoir. Skil on-line
doesn't have a manual for the old Model 77 type 13, so I downloaded a
Manual for the later model HD77M type 1, or HD77 type 17. The manual
says to only use Skil lubricants.
Are there alternative oils?

Yes or even Product # 80111 Skil Heavy Duty Worm Drive Lubricant......still
available from Mr. Robert Bosch.
Milwaukee's or B&D's will work just fine too.

If I were to make a guess, 90 wt would be it. Pretty standard gear lube.

I've used 10W-30 in mine for about thirty-five years and it works
fine. It burns a hell of a lot less of this than does my eighteen
year old F-150.
