Mcglaughlin Oil Petrol-Gel Lubricant,White

My German made coffee maker started making strange noises like plastic straining against plastic two weeks after moving back from Germany. After a call to the maker and dicussion with a technician, he recommended a food safe lubrication. I did not think KY jelly would hack it so I searched amazon and came up with this product. I think I have enough words now. The product is reasonably priced and works well. Prompt mail service too.

Great lubricant.

Received a beautiful tube of lube to be used in certain applications where some contact with food may occur. My use was for a water filtration system (O-rings). You dont need much, so this is a really large portion for one household, but almost as cheap as a small packet.

We bought this for a brand new meat slicer. Out of the box the slicer started to make grinding noises. We put this on the gears and it fixed the problem and haven’t had to use it since

Used on food slicer works very well no odor

I bought it to lube our espresso machines brew group, but Ive also been able to use this for other kitchen products. I think it would be a good all-round lube around the house, since its a plant-derivative and doesnt stain like oil. The tube provides more product than Ill ever use!

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.

Works great. This is a life time supply for most homebrewers.

The package and listing say its white. Its colorless and nearly transparent. Its also tacky, which I find annoying. Its nothing like the lube that came on the new meat slicer for which I purchased it. I suspect it will be a dust magnet, which is unfortunate for those of us who store a meat slicer for extended periods between uses. Didnt see a lot of other choices, but now Im looking more closely.

Works great
