I usually buy 4 liters of of Robinair Vacuum Pump Oil, but at £27.00 a pop, and lasting less than a week (because, needless to say, we change after every use :D), I thought I'd have a browse, and quickly came across some stuff advertised as 'Special purpose premium vacuum pump lubricant' on sale at a far cheaper price.
However it's not on a refrigeration wholesalers site, and does't actually state it's suitable for a refrigeration vacuum pump. I just want to make sure that it's not going to kill my vacuum pump, and that it's going to do the same job the Robinair Vacuum Pump Oil does (i.e. achieve a vacuum of below 500 microns). Link below;

What you think; will I be fine, or shill I stick to the Robinair Vacuum Pump Oil
Thank you in advance
