That's very interesting - What kind of lathe? Do you use it in the bearings (and if so, are they plain or ball / roller?), or just on the ways? I use tractor type hydraulic oil for my lathes, for the same reasons - I hate the smell of the Mobil Vactra way oil, that you're "supposed' to use. Tom, apologizing, for going off topic......
