Reply To: Liquid Bearing synthetic oil

[arutha]

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I was looking at this oil again and read this in the listing on e-bay

it will not attract or retain dirt and contaminants like petroleum-based oils do

I find this a bit hard to swallow and wonder what testing has been done to prove this?
pkamargo has stated he has used it on clocks and it has been ok, I would like to ask if you have used this on your own clocks and how it has “stood up” once you have come to service the clock next time around? Is it any better or at least as good as standard clock oils, does it reduce wear and as the seller would lead us to belive, was it as clean as the day it went into service being able to sheild itself from dirt and contaminants?
I felt I had to comment as when I did a search on “Liquid Bearings” this thread came up on the first page and the last person to comment on this thread had claimed it was ok to use on clocks, I would like some reasurrance as I think it important if people are finding this thread in a search engine and reading that it is ok for clocks, they are not buying it just on the strength of one comment.
