That one humid workshop day turned my oil choice upside down

I was all for synthetic oils until a wet repair job showed me natural oils might be better; what's your pick?

How did a wet repair job make you choose natural oil? I'm totally surprised because synthetic is supposed to work better in damp heat. If it turned thin or sticky in humidity, that's a huge flaw. For instance, synthetic oil should not break down or let water mix in easily. Natural oil might resist moisture but it can get too thick when cold. I always picked synthetic for its steady performance, so your experience really throws me off.

Totally changed my mind after that.

Ever had synthetic oil absorb water?
