There are a couple of tins of the stuff around my workshop. It's
electric motor oil, by the way, not necessarily the thing for internal
combustion engines. I never use the stuff (should dispose of the cans)
because it always seems to be gummy in the spout when I have used it.
Seems to me that if it gums in the can, it would do something worse in
real use. I note that the fellows who service the furnace boiler's
burner lubricate it with SAE 10-30 engine oil.
