how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

I just got off the horn with the MFA oil lab in Moberly. I had some questions about their bar oil.

1.) Shelf life ? Fella said after about 5 years the tackifier may start to separate but a good shake of the jug or stir of the barrel would take care of that.
The reason I inquired is, I read on one of the spec sheets for another bar oil ( I can’t recall the brand ) the shelf life was 2-3 years.

2.) Whether it was virgin oil or filtered used oil with tackifier added ? He said that theirs is always virgin oil. They occasionally use older hydraulic oil & use oil from damaged containers then add the appropriate tackifiers to get their blend correct.

The fella also told me that they could blend up smaller batches thicker or thinner per customer preference.

He then said they could deliver in bulk with the tank wagon using 275 gallon or 330 gallon totes. I told him that wasn’t really in the cards for me.

Very nice, helpful & informative fella.

I’m blending my own right now..
2 parts 220 mobile lube and 1 part auto press wash...

Got 2 drums from a closed out press room that they were happy for me to “dispose” of..

That 220 is some thick *s-word....

I’d run motor oil in em if it was free...

I’m shameless...

That should save some bucks.

About 50 gallons of free oil..

Of course the pump I bought to get it out of there was $90, so the great find was not as great.

That was used gear oil with STP mixed in.

I can't foresee them having fence row problems with that rig around!

Well you shouldn’t have to spend any money on a pump the next time you get a free barrel of oil.

Morning everybody.​

Hopefully that will be the case.
Though cheap crap pumps seem to be common. Hope it lasts a few years.

For a while at work they didn't want to fix one bank of lube dispensing meters and they dripped into a drip pan and drained into a 5 gallon bucket below. I've still got about 30 gallon of synthetic motor oil, synthetic ATF and synthetic 90 weight mixed together that's slicker than snot on a doorknob.

Need to buy you that Milwaukee cordless transfer pump. I just ordered mine. Ppl have been using them for everything from water to 90wt. With no problems.

Preliminary guesses looks like @67L36Driver is going to be hoarding the snow that is moving in Wednesday night & Thursday. Thanks Carl.

We are supposed to be below zero Friday night, with highs around 50* Sunday & Monday…

I see they just talk about pumping water, I was curious about the warranty after use on oil.
