Does anybody know what type of oil this is? I suspect it is either silicone or mineral oil based but I really couldn't tell you. I've tried looking all over the net for info but haven't found anything beyond what they say on the bottle.
 
hmm, I did find a data sheet on their Elite oil. 85% naphthenic petrol oil, less than 10% Polyalpha-olefin, and the remaining percentage is some proprietary additive.

hmmm, so its looking like this is definately best suited for applications where thermal stability is a cruicial factor in both high and low temp. extremes. Very interesting. Now to figure out what CLP Breakfree and RemOil are (I suspect those fancy spray on silicone/teflon mixtures, forget the name).
