Please remember that petroleum is also a biodegradable material. All bio-organic materials (SM oil as well) has a scent. We have just become accustomed to SM oil smelling like "good".
For some reason I had it in my head that this was a synthetic oil... it's the grease that's synthetic, right?
Yes, SM oil has a scent, and Off SM oil is pretty bad, but I would rather that smell to the various plant based oils in the kitchen when they go off. *shudders* Triflow has its own interesting scent too. Way different than the Zoom spout stuff. I've heard it described as a stale urine scent (
