A lot of the companies I deal with have moved over to synthetic or semi synthetic fluids. It's more expensive to buy, but average dilution rates are in the region of 50:1. I've been using Rocol Ultracut for a few years, no mould growth, nasty smells or rust formation on machine or parts. Doesn't give me a rash and the wife doesn't complain about the smell :) The lathe sump hasn't been drained for two years. It gets the tramp oil removed when I remember and gets topped up when the pump pulls air. Often it only gets water, as that seems to evaporate off and the concentration goes higher over time. The only fresh lube addition is to replace spillage and loss in with swarf.
