 Re: Petroleum distillate oil - all the same?

NOOO I would not. Speaking from a chemists point of view, petroleum distillates is a WIDE term for anything distilled from crude oil. Gasoline, kerosene, motor oil, etc can all be labeled as petroleum distillates. Its kind of like keeping a trade secret a secret by adding in "natural flavoring" to food labels. They're not wrong, but they're not all the same.

The same distillates in bore oil may be lighter (needs to be replaced more often) or heavier (lasts longer, leaves residue) than the one in keywork oil. You just never know what you are putting where. I'd rather stick to the natural stuff...I never say that ironically.

Also, I'd keep my exposure to volatile organic carbons to a minimum for a health safety standpoint.
