Way Oil

May 15, 2022 1 Replies

I've been using Mobile Vactra #2 Way oil for some years in the ways on all my machines. My primary vendors are out of stock, and even if it was in stock the price has doubled. Interestingly one of my vendors suggested a mineral oil that is the same viscosity as the Mobile petrolatum based oil that is the same ISO68/SAE20. They have it listed as a way oil and its the price the Mobile Vactra #2 was two years ago.



I've done the search engine thing and I can't really find any information on the differences in use. The most articles I found were mineral vs synthetic for combustion engines.



Anybody know of any issues?



Yes, Snag I started an oil thread. Head on over to the RMH VB&G, and have one on me in apology.


No apology needed , but I'll take that drink and I'm sure Shirley has been alerted that I'm headed that way . As far as way oil , I've been using bar and chain oil for my chainsaws . Higher viscosity than 20 , but this s*it is way sticky and slippery . I mix it with a little moly grease to use on my change gears (70 yo Logan/PowrKraft) too .
