Mcglaughlin Oil Petrol-Gel Lubricant,White

I used it to get auto hoses to slip on to their barbs . No chemicals to eat away my hoses

If your kitchen appliance has interior moving parts, like my Phillips Saeco Espresso Machine, you may need to lubricate it periodically. This get is food grade and does the job. There are no instructions with this: look to your appliance documentation for this. I think it may also be a good lubricant for exterior fittings, like the slip on paddle for my mixer that has gotten sticky. A toothpick of wooden skewer is handy to get the get into tight places.

Works good. You don’t need much. Used once and have not had to reapply and it’s been 5 months.

Im a bit hesitant to give this product only 2 stars because it may well be a good product for other uses, but if you are buying this grease as an inexpensive replacement for the very expensive Saeco Silicone Grease, I cannot recommend it based on my experience. Here is my experience with this grease: When I started to use this grease instead of the Saeco Silicone Grease (I was down one small tube), the brewer performance was poor as compared to the original Saeco Silicone Grease. With this non-silicone petroleum grease, the coffee came out watery and coffee waste bin contained a watery sludge instead of dry pucks. Now this type of behavior could be caused a bad brew-group O-ring, but in my case, I did experiments switching between the Saeco Silicone grease and the Petrol grease and the correlation was 100%: With silicone grease: dry pucks, no watery coffee. With Petrol grease: sludge coffee waste and watery coffee. Again, this product may be perfect for other uses and so the 2 stars may not be deserved, but if you want to use this for a Saeco or probably for other makes of automatic expresso makers, I would recommend, instead, a silicone based, food-rated grease like the Haynes Silicone Grease, which comes in a large 4 Oz tube!

Good value

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.

It works for my application which is my freezer door sliding rails. For that alone it was a superb value.

I bought this for the slicer that I presently have as well as a new one that I purchased. It is great quality and I like how it doesnt goop all over. This will last quite some time.

Food grade lube is a must for coffee machines or other kitchen equipment that have gears. Good price and right size quantity for household use.

I used this Petrol Gel to regrease my KitchenAid standing mixer and it worked perfectly! One tube did my whole mixer and after it was regreased and ran for about 5 minutes my KitchenAid sounded like a new machine! 5 stars from me!
