[ARC5] Turbine Oil

[Fuqua, Bill L]

  Not all synthetic oils are non-petroleum based.
The very best oils are silicone syntetic oils which do not react to anything,
and are not affected by temperature. The purest forms, which cost often over $100 per quart is
diffusion pump oil. But there are some used in the automotive industry that are much cheaper. Same
for silicone grease. One problem with all oils is that if there is any dust or smoke particles they can
combine with it and gummy and messy. You have to keep the dust and smoke away from the gears
and bearings.

         Hoppes gun oil has a different odor than most oils. A little
like banana oil. I don't have my bottle of Hoppes where I can find it,
but isn't it supposed to be a solvent for powder residue?
