Yes, they are the exact same thing. Quote:

(The reason I'm asking is, of course, that I am trying to find out what to oil my chips with).
Thanks,

Sorry for my mistake, I was thinking the 2 products (mineral oil & vaseline) were the same  .
They seems to me quite close, petroleum based substance.
I've just found a list of others names on mineral oil on wikipedia, here it is :
* Adepsine oil
* Alboline
* Cable oil
* Drakeol
* Electrical Insulating Oil
* Heat-treating oil
* Hydraulic oil
* Lignite oil
* Liquid paraffin
* Mineral Seal Oil
* Paraffin oil
* Petrolatum
* Petroleum, liquid
* White oil
* Baby oil
Baby oil and Liquid paraffin may be the easiest to find. |

I'd be cautious with baby oil too. Some are made of vegetable oil.

Mineral oil is a byproduct of the distillation of Gasoline, it's not actually petroleum. Mineral oil is sold as a laxative. Quote:
