agree  Björn Vrooman: Hope your A/C is working again! https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrikationsöl - although I prefer your version w/o -ing.

  -> Yes, the A/C is back up. I've seen the Wikipedia entry but couldn't find another source using "processing oil" that way. In turn, I found Shell's own use and that of Petro Canada sufficiently convincing.
