Not sure, but the same darn thing happened to me! I bought my penn oil and grease at Walmart last time. Little over a year ago? Their Penn reel oil was the blue synthetic one. Then I ran out, so I picked up an another bottle of penn oil, when I was at Mystic reels parts spending a small fortune on parts not too long ago lol! Thought I was getting the blue oil as well? But when I got home, I discovered it was clear, and does feel thicker to me. They don't seem to be the same product. I feel like that blue stuff was slightly thinner and better. I wish I would've went sooner, so I could've done a comparison.And this bottle leaks like a sieve, no matter how careful you are with it. Even after you close it, it's still leaking out of the bottle. Honestly, half of it, has already been wasted. So either I'll have to get a small precision oiler, or I'm just buying different oil with a needle top oiler this go around. I also bought a tube of super lube, and 3n1 oil to try out, but that 3n1 stuff, it just smells like crap lol!

I agree. Lucas is real good and I've been trying the Super Lube Oil the last season and so far so good.
