    I used to use Mazola, but now my Mini has blockages. I am giving it 10 mgs of Crestor every other fillup. I plan on switching to Olive oil next change.

    Go to your pharmacy and ask for a lubricant. Any of them work better than Mobil 1.

    Passion personal lube isn't 100% synthetic.

    Use Astroglide, it's the Amsoil of personal lubes.
