Mcglaughlin Oil Petrol-Gel Lubricant,White

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

No dislikes Thanks

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!

Do not use it for your coffeemaker

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.

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!

This product appears to be an effective, food safe lubricant. We use the gel to lubricate the moving parts of the brew unit on our automated espresso machine. However, Amazon does an unacceptable packaging job with this product. The gel is contained in a metallic type tube, e.g, think toothpaste. Amazon ships this product without a box or any type of protective packaging, merely in a thin envelope. As a result, the two shipments that we have received of this product have sustained moderate damage in the shipping process causing some leakage of the gel. Amazon can and should do better.

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 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.

Used it to lubricate a pressure regulator assembly for a nitro cold brew keg. Works great, and a little goes a long way with this grease. Going to last me a very long time.
