Lubricating oil
A lubricating oil composition having a wide variety of uses consists of a dearomatized hydrocarbon distillate (petroleum), a post lubricant petroleum hydrocarbon, and white mineral oil. In one embodiment, the dearomatized hydrocarbon distillate is present in an amount from 15 to 25%, the post lubricant petroleum hydrocarbon is present in an amount from 5 to 15%, and the balance is the white mineral oil.
