I use it, and I'm delighted. (That does not mean my lights are removed or extinguished . . .  :P)

when I asked the question it was not meant to say have you used it on KATO LOCOS , it was simply have you used it on anything i.e. bearings on trucks.

It sounds interesting and I like the dispenser. At least it is claimed to be fully synthetic (mineral based oil leaches the plasticiser out making plastic go brittle) but it does look quite thick. However, that only how it looks in the pic so let us all know how it goes when you receive it.

Received oil today it was posted on the 13 march so that was not to bad, it is about as thick as 3 in one, have tried it on a couple of wheel bearings seems fine, nice container with a metal dispenser tube, 1 fl oz so will last a long time all in all very pleased.
