Nyoil is made by the Nye Company of Fairhaven, Massachessetts. Among other
products they produce a line of synthetic lubricants that includes Nyoil.
There is more than one grade of Nyoil. Full information about the company
and technical data for their products is available at:

Micro-Tool sells a specific Nyoil product which one presumes is the product
best suited for camera shutters.
There is also a product called Nyloil made by Nycast. This is a lubricant
designed specifically for use on certain nylon casting.
