Mcglaughlin Oil Petrol-Gel Lubricant,White

Wonderful product for sealing o-rings in water filters.

Used on food slicer works very well no odor

I removed cap and the seal was still in place just a tiny little slit that had begun to leak product near the top of the tube.

I was looking for some lubricant for our kitchen faucet as I have run out of the little tubes that come with some repair kits. I didnt want to get a container because I prefer not to stick or drop anthing in and have contamination. Figure I get a large tube that can be useful for a variety of applications. Squeeze out whats needed, the rest inside stays clean. This lubricant is labeled Sanitary Petrol-Gel Lubricant. The tube states it is WHITE but its really just CLEAR. The tube claims its absolutely tasteless and odorless. I can confirm it is odorless, the tasteless part...Ill let you determine that. On the back of the tube, helpful hints on uses; valves, pistons, O rings, gaskets, sanitary pumps, glides, slide mechanisms. Also states for Food Plant use. As well as the disclaimer - where contact with food is only incidental. Im sure that is requested by the lawyers to mean dont go expecting to use this as oil to cook your favorite food. There are times when 4 ounces dont sound like much, like in a bag of candy or a drink but in this case, 4 oz looks to appear enough for 4 generations of families or 40 generations, if you dont lose it or misplace it first. Oh, and on a final note, I dont know if this is also THAT kind of lubricant if you know what I mean. Not that I have tested or anything, just throwing that out there in case anyone thinks I wonder if.... On a final final note. Getting back to being serious. This is a lot of lube. Look at a typical tootpaste about the same quantity and imagine each use of the lubricant is 1/2 a pea size or so and most likely anything you lube will not require daily lubing. I wished it was sold in a smaller quantity such as 1 oz, even that would be quite a lot. This 4 oz is approx. 1 1/2 diameter at the top end (not the neck), flat width on the bottom is 2, and the length is 5 3/4. EDIT 6/13/13: Ok, originally I gave the lube 4 STARS, now I am revising it to 2 STARS. Heres why. I have so far used it on a few applications but on the O rings in my kitchen faucet and as far as I can tell, it appears to feel like it isnt properly lubing the rings. Swinging the faucet left and right, feels slow with more resistance than I would like, the kind of feeling that makes it feel like it could do with some lubing, except it was lubed with this lube. Whats Im going to do is pick up something at the local hardware chain and compare it. Please click YES if my review have been helpful to you, it will encourage me to continue writing and updating my reviews, and leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.

The 4oz bottle is very reasonably priced. I’ve been using it on my Saeco espresso machine brew unit without any issues. The lubricant withstands multiple washes and I do not need to reapply every time I clean the machine. Very satisfied with this product.

Hard to find quality lubricant, the by gone day oil solution to lots of lubricant issues

I havent needed it yet, but it looks like it will work just fine.

I used this to lubricate the workings of my automatic espresso machine. I found that it worked well. There was no strange taste or smell in the coffee after using it It was easy to apply and had an easy to work with consistency at room temperature (67 degrees for me). The tube made it easy moderate the flow and the cap went back on securely after I was finished. It does what it says and Ive not had any problems with it. If you need to grease an espresso machine, Id recommend it.

Tube is mangled up, but its contents are fine for lubricating my slicer.

Used this for greasing our meat stuffer
