Hetman Synthetic Oils

kingflair · 12-08-2003, 11:57 AM

Anyone have any feedback on these oils. My repair guy has recommended giving them a try on my 68 Silver Flair. I have been using Al Cass.

I would recommend them. I have used the regular and the light piston oil and they seem to work fine. I used AlCass for a long time but it would leave dicoloration / deposits on my valves when it broke down. Hetman doesn't seem to do this. Hetman also makes a really nice slide oil that works great for 1st and 3rd valve slides.

I would echo what TM had to say. I switched from Cass a few years ago and have never had a problem. Cass worked fine on my old Bb, but the valves on the new (tighter) horns would slow and stick. I use Hetman classic on the Bb and Hetman light on all my other horns w/o any problems. I highly recommend the stuff.

What do you guys think of Blue Juice?

I hate that stuff! If I were you I would stay away NOBS. I used it for a while and the smell was cool but it made my valves look like a sewer. Green Sludge everywhere. Maybe it reacted to something but I thought it was awful. I have never had that kind of problem with any other valve oil

I've used Blue Juice for a couple years now with great success. In fact, it is the only petroluem oil I have found that works well with my Lawler. Not to say others won't work, but Blue Juice makes my Lawler valves like lightning. I just recently got a bottle of Fat Cat oil. I have it on my Bachs right now, and it seems to work as well as Blue Juice.

I have heard great things about Hetman, I just haven't tried it.

Borrowed it one time in an emergency, seemed to work fine that night.

Is Hetman unscented?

Yes it is unscented. It smells like some kind of oil but no scent has been added

The Hetman oils have ruined all of my white shirts...
The oils leaves a stain that will not come out...
Good for the horn, though......
