"Cantenna" With Motor Oil?

[Chuck Moore]

Careful on using refrigeration oils. Some, called
PAG I believe and used in automotive AC are corrosive
and will damage the finish on an automobile. Mineral
Oil has been pretty reliable for me, readily available
in the local pharmacy and other then getting the "You
have lost your mind expression" from the store clerk
I have not experienced any drawbacks.
