You are reading a thread about purchasing a 5 gallon pail of way oil for $130 shipped. Are you indicating the oil I bought is not the good stuff?
The Mobil Vactra 2 is $163 shipped.

Presidential way oil?

On a side note, I noticed that the guys at the battleship Texas gun repair facility were using Royal Purple on the ways of their new little lathe. I kept telling them that they needed to get some way oil. They thought I was kidding and telling them that they needed to order whale oil.

I use a 50/50 mix of chainsaw bar oil and 30wt.
It will take me a while to get to the nursing home so a 5 gallon pail is probably a good idea.
Sorry should have been more specific. Your original preference (mine too) is for Vactra 2.
Amazon Vactra 2, 5 gal, $153 shipped.
We use an Amazon store card for all purchases from them because you get 5% all the time so $144.
That's either $30 or $28 a gallon for Vactra 2 if that's your preference. Way better than $60.

That $153 with tax ends up $163 for me. The Presidential was $130 shipped including tax. I'm hoping the new stuff is good enough. I sure don't use it sparingly.
The oil arrived today. Looks and feels good. Hard to wipe off my fingers. I'll probably find a place for it on the shelf and break into the gallon of Vactra 2 still up there. I don't like not having plenty of commodities on the shelf.
