I had one of those Varityper type setters years ago. Does that one still go?

Hi Jennifer. Have you got your oil question answered? My thoughts.
First, oil only, no grease on a heidelberg. Next, I just get standard motor oil for mine. The oils you listed would be fine but the main thing is that you oil the press regularly, and something like a 20/50 grade will keep it lubricated fine. My regularly is probably about once every 3-4 weeks.

When I was a little younger we could buy engine oil that was recycled. It was just regular oil from our car engine that had been strained of all the gunk. The oil doesn’t actually wear out, it just gets very dirty and full of nasties. Maybe you can still buy it. Or even strain your own old engine oil, through fine material or something. I’m sure google will tell you how.
