Pentosin vs. Lucas Green Baby Oil



Hi Folks,

 I'll probably regret even telling you guys this....but...for the last   
100K miles I put on my 5Ks (now reading 249K+) I used Lucas' green hydro   
fluid in place of Pentosin.  I did it because it was supposed to be the   
same stuff and it was much cheaper at $11 a quart.  I never had a   
problem.  As far as I can tell, Pentosin isn't a lot more than green   
mineral oil (although I probably wouldn't use it on a baby's butt).   
 Question is:  Saving $6.00 a quart is nice, but not at the expense of an   
inferior product....is using Lucas' oil a mistake?
 Aside from the obvious jokes about Lucas refridgerators and the British   
drinking warm beer....I am prepared to be slammed.
 So, what are your opinions; or better yet, what are the facts?
 I know how difficult it is to get an opinion out of anybody on this   
list, but please weigh in on this (just kidding folks).
