lubricants for stirlings

Du pont'
Has new synthetic oils that are nonflammable and are stable up to 760f. This could give you the option of adding rings to your piston for a better gas seal.

You need to find an aircraft maintenance engineering shop, that services gas turbine/jet engines, they use a fully synthetic oil that would be about right. Another lubricant would be what's known here as Super Lub, it's Teflon based. Ian S C
