I have stated in other post, and I don't want to start a debate, that coconut oil is my favorite oil. It is a very clean oil. It doesn't gum up like the other oils that I have used. I tried, corn oil, sunflower oil, vegetable oil, and coconut oil. All of them were a pain to clean up because they will turn gummy when heated for a long time. I clean my machine with a warm wash cloth. It melts and removes the coconut oil effortlessly. I used to use Goof Off on my paint to remove the oil. never again.
Bad thing about the oil is that you have to preheat it to melt it for the pump.
Good thing is it doesn't spoil because oxygen cannot penetrate the solidified oil and ruin it. I have used oil that were over five years old (in the container) and it was fine. I also reheated oil for months without any spoilage. Regular oil spoils after a month or two when it is reheated and opened to the atmosphere.
Hey Larry... I also have tried other oils...and always comeback to coconut oil... It has a excellent shelf life...Very clean as you stated... Ive tried others and what a mess that turned out to be...never again... The best coconut oil ive used is a virgin coconut oil... exspensive but very good .. Have others on here used something different?
