Mcglaughlin Oil Petrol-Gel Lubricant,White

I had purchased a meat slicer for a Christmas present, along with its none serrated blade and this product. The first tube I received was all smashed up (it looked like someone beat on a table with it) so I called Amazon and ordered another one. When I got the second tube it was worse than the first. The tube is made of a soft metal material so the wrinkles and smashed parts cant be smoothed out. Needless to say that I wont be including this product in the Christmas gift. Each order was for a new item. I have to wonder who on earth would think what I got looked like a new product. All that being said, I dont know if the actual product is any good because the packaging was so badly mangled I will not be giving it as part of the gift.

A must have for home brewers and those with kegerators. Keep your O-Rings from binding and in good condition. A little goes a long way. With a very thing coating on the O-Rings it makes tapping your keg much easier and keeps the O-Rings from binding reducing the chance of leaks. Improves the life of O-Rings. Makes it easier to attache hoses to barb fittings tail peaces etc. Use when reassembling beer faucets to keep the O-Rings in good shape so they seal and dont leak. Use very sparingly all that is needed is a light coating just enough to give a sheen wipe off any excess and a tube will last for ever.

When changing your water filters you will be needing this for the o-rings to keep the threads and rubber rings sealed but dont want to use petroleum jelly. The sanitary nature of this food grade product means you will not add any contaminants to your water supply. Also works on valves and unions to lube the sealing rings.

Purchased to lube o-rings for corney kegs and other homebrew applications. We use this same product in the commercial brewery I work at for everything from lubing the o-rings in picnic tappers to helping large gaskets seat on polish filters. In my homebrew setting at home, this small tube should last a ridiculously long time.

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!

The instructions for a replacement fridge door seal I purchased said to lubricate it with this grease, I used it, didnt discolor or cause any harm so I guess its ok.

Used this for greasing our meat stuffer

99% of reviews talk about meat grinders. I dont have a meat grinder. I needed something to lubricate the O rings on my syringe type meat injector that is stainless steel and industrial grade. This Petro-Gel is fantastic for that application. I also have a cheaper plastic Walmart meat injector and I used the Petro-Gel on that this cheapo injector as well. Worked GREAT!!! This is a great product and considering the price, I could not be happier. Shipping VERY fast. Thanks for a great product at a resonable price!!!

I use this gel primarily to lubricate the O-Rings and hinges on an espresso coffee machine. Works great and is very, very economical. It sticks to the surfaces and rarely needs to be reapplied. Even used it on the swimming pool basket O-Rings in a pinch. -My product arrived in a leaking tube, probably damaged in shipping. Thats the only negative, and certainly has nothing to do with the product.

Works as intended.
