Parts cleaner solvent?
 
What do you all use for parts washer solvent? I’ve always used mineral spirits with a little automatic trans fluid. Need to change mine.

You can usually get it from bulk oil/gas distributors. Sometimes they call it stoddard solvent instead of mineral spirits. Put some of those old empty VPcans to use.

There is an oil company next door to my shop. I think I’ll go over tomorrow and see what they have.

The oil company next to me had 5 gallon pails of mineral spirits for less than $50. Got 4 of them.

Zep Dyna 143. It cleans really well, and dries instantly when blown with an air hose. No film. We used it at work before I retired. Safety Clean has one very similar to it. The 143 is the flash point, I believe. Its pricy, but I've tried others and keep coming back to it ..
