I was wondering if the refrigeration compressor oil had some kind of mineral oil base. It's a lot like brake fluid and the hydraulic oil we use at work for our hydraulic machinery.

The trash compactor oil is over $ 80.00 for a five gallon bucket nowadays. I looked up refrigeration compressor oil yesterday and that was over $ 1,200.00 for a five gallon pail. You would think that it would be worthwhile to collect and re-process the refrigeration oil at that price.

Refrigerant oil, 45 gallon drum $20,970.00.

One gallon.
