I have been using rustlick 255R for years and I'm about out so I am researching alternate fluids. Recently I had a reamer not want to cut and switching to oil solved the problem but before I finish it should be noted the coolant had sit for a while and looked like it had separated or broken down so I wasn't surprised. If I stay on top of it skimming oil and adding chlorine once in a while I can get a year out of a batch of coolant but it is still a hassle and way oil and other cutting oil gets in the sump regardless.
If anyone is using oil how does it handle mixing with other oils like way oil? Does is stay fresh or get stinky and rancid? I use a gear pump so I don't think pumping it will be a problem and my lathe coolant pump which I use to prime the high pressure pump is compatible as well.
I want to hear form guys using both so I can make up my mind going forward on whether to ditch the water sol or not.
