Mcglaughlin Oil Petrol-Gel Lubricant,White

I was so thrilled when I ran into this Gel for my meat slicer. Works perfectly. This tube will last me a good bit of time.

Use it on my Saeco Philips espresso machine. Its great and keeps it going like new

Wonderful product for sealing o-rings in water filters.

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

Exactly the product that I wanted and it works as advertised.

Do not use it for your coffeemaker

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.

I like having this product at home, it prolongs the life of my espresso machine.

if this was what i needed. It has worked on my meat slicer. When I received the slicer the lube was white. The McGlaughlin Oil PETROL is clear and food grade so I knew it would be ok. My slicer is doing great and works as smooth as it did the first time I purchased. Will be buying more .

I purchased this to use on my Chefs Choice 615 meat slicer my wife purchased for me as a Christmas present. Reading other posts lead me to this product as it was recommended to use this to keep the motors moving smoothly. It has the consistency of Vaseline and goes on the motors and posts easily and does a good job of getting rid of the slight squeak on the motor as the blade spins. The size is pretty good for this machine and should last quite some time as we need to use fairly little of it. Overall this was a great buy for the meat slicer.
