Mcglaughlin Oil Petrol-Gel Lubricant,White

I bought this to lube up the O-rings on 5-gallon corny kegs I use for homebrew, instead of the standard

great product. I bought it for my electrical food slicer. And it works exelent!!! It does not leave greasy stains, as petrolatum, but perfectly lubricates all friction parts. Lubricant provides an excellent stable film on metal parts. I highly recommend this petrol-gel lubricant for kitchen electrical appliances

Great

Great lubricant nontoxic

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.

Used this stuff to lube up the inside of a Keurig Coffee machine, goes on super smooth and non-greasy, stays where you need it. I only used a teeny tiny bit, so what the heck do I do with rest of the 4 oz.?! Great value, hopefully this stuff doesnt go bad over time.

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.

Works as intended.

I purchased this along with a Chefs Choice 615 food slicer -- I dont know a tremendous amount about the very best slicer lubricant, so I went with the reviews/suggestions to get the Petrol-Gel. Honestly, Im kind of impressed at how little is required to lubricate the grommet on the blade and the key points of the slicer. This small tube is going to last a long, long time. This is one of those products where I wont bother to find a better alternative or try to save what literally amounts to a buck. Ill stick with Petrol-Gel because it works.

for my purpose this is overkill. I use 2 or 3 fingertips of this grease and I probably wont use any more for another year. It would be nice to be able to get a smaller tube but when they do that they charge you the same. They tell you to use this but my friends tell me that they use vegetable oil and it works fine. If you are going to use this all the time it might be worth it but for me it was a waste of money. I gave it five stars because it does what it needs to do and does it well.
