What oil is best to use with this product? The R12 mineral oil or the PAG oil in newer systems?

I used the Enviro-Safe oil charge. It is supposed to be compatible with the R12 mineral oil as well as the 134a oil. I have had no problems with the Enviro-Safe oil.

Thanks for the question. I am no professional by any means when it comes to what oil to use for your boat motor. Myself personally would invest my time researching the best type of MARINE specific oil. Im sure of the performance and protection royal purple provides for land vehicles. There may be specifications for marine engines. Best of luck.

I don't know what the right oil to use is but I used heavy duty gear oil. Mine leaks too but I don't use it enough to worry about. For the price, I'm quite happy with it.

Use only water based or silicone based lubricants. Do not use oil-based lubricants. For upkeep add cornstarch to prevent deterioration.

I treated with the mineral oil and began using the following day. I've treated it a fre times over the last year and have used it within a few hours on occasion.

From the research I did prior to purchase, it is my understanding that it is white mineral oil. I do not believe that the other oils you mention will work and will most certainly void any warranty you might have. This oil last a long time and I'm using it ever time I have to empty my shredder. Hope this helps.

I have always used mineral oil for food surfaces like cutting boards. Not tung oil. I use tung oil for furniture and for stocks.

Mineral oil is not harmful. It is a super refined food-safe finish. You can apply and re-apply whenever the rolling pin appears dry.

You can use any oil. I use vegetable oil in mine and it works great! Stores do sell popcorn oil as well, it just depends on your preference.

with my ac system completely empty and I mean-flushed with new evaporator and new compressor I added one small can of pressurized pag oil(1oz. size) after having installed my compressor which I prefilled with pour in pag oil(approx. 1oz.). then I added 2 full cans of R-12a. I don't know how to check oil concentration(%age wise), but my ac in my 89 caddy is like the artic and I am happy. I'm not an ac expert, but I consulted with a certified auto ac specialist before converting my system from R-12 to R-12a and also studied all ac documents available on the internet.

I would say, both, but remember, we all have a different skins and results are various. But you never can go wrong with argan oil! Especially, if you use it along with oil itself. I can recommend "Elma and Sana" brand.

I used 8 oz. of PAG 150 with ICE performance enhancer (1996 Chevy Tahoe). You need to check on what the total system uses for oil. As I replaced every component, the total was 8 oz. You should drain the oil out of your old compressor and measure it so you know how much is left in the system then add the difference plus an addition ounce.

I woild think mineral oil would be to thick and u should always be very careful usimg any flammable solution with a heating source as recommended by some.

Peanut oil has a higher flash point and is all around better lasting and preventing burning or flare ups. Just don't over fill basin. Stop at line cause it boils up and into basket

I like Peanut oil it is the best, but any cooking oil will work. We also use popcorn butter seasoning salt.

Good question. From what I find you can mix with any of those oils. Should not be used with baby oil or any other mineral oil
