Boagy Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hi Guys, I've just received a pint of 17-M-F Motor Oil (Changeable) colour I ordered from M-F manufacturing Company. I had checked out mention of this colour in forums and viewed the colour chart on the item web page. It shows the colour as being green with an amber colour when held to the light. Exactly what I wanted as I am trying to match the Zman Motor Oil colour. However, the label on the bottle says 17 - Motor Oil Changeable Green/red. I haven't mixed it yet but it looks very red when held to the light.............not amber. The web page does say that the 'picture is representative and may or may not be the true colour depending on the amount of dye used in M-F Plastic'. Is anyone able to confirm whether this colour looks amber OR red when held to the light please? I'm gonna be very disappointed if its red. I just spent $63 US ($84 AUS) for shipping to especially get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmatt1717 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 It's amber. Try 1 drop per oz to start. Then add a few drops if it isn't dark enough. U can over do it really easy with MF motor oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 It's Amber I had a small bottle for the same reason, mf is a bit weak though I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also contained more weight than a pint, if it's not up to par don't feel up the creek without a paddle as we can always do something for you if you order again from the states. It really helps us suppliers to contact them for real help as spike it and M-F did for you a full 2 weeks. Give it a good shake and try it, some people see dif. shade of color (it's not red as in blood red) and the green is not like grass green. The word green/red might be the wrong word as color formulas change in 47 years but the names may stay.I will be glad to help..

Boagy Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Thanks Jeff, you certainly looked after me with my order and it is very much appreciated. Of course its not the sellers fault that the shipping charges are so high........just one of those things when you live on the other side of the world. I injected up a batch of lures on the weekend and the colour has turned out perfectly. Exactly what I wanted. It was the green/red designation that threw me out and concerned me. All turned out well in the end. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
