| Odorless lamp oil from Walmart - $3.00 for a quart.
Blue Juice, $?? for a tall, fat bottle. (It's been so long since I had to buy any.)
I used to mix them but now I use them alternately; lamp oil for a few days, then a dose of Blue Juice.
Works great and it's not expensive. Most $5.00/2 oz. bottle oils are just re-packaged odorless lamp oil, sometimes with a perfumed or color additive.
I mean, let's get real. There may be a few silicone based lubricants out there that cost more to produce, but most trumpet oils are not that sophisticated. Nor do they have to be.
