explain drip oiler sizes to me

[g mccool]

Can someone explain the differance in drip oiler sizes to me. I have a steam winch & need two drip oilers for it. I have been looking on ebay & see sizes from #0 to #5. What does this tell me? I also need a pressure feed oiler. Is there differant sizes of these as well? Thanks in advance. GERALD

Search McMaster-Carr catalog (www.mcmaster.com) for oilers and they will tell you.
