It probably did have additives... and they were all fresh. This was new product. I still have the empty drums, I'll have a look for labels and report if I find. Maybe it was synthetic.

Not mixed with anything, straight up in 2nd tank. Mixing with a 2-tank system is counter culture, and is something you do if you're trying to do 1-tank stuff. My suspicion with this oil is that mixing with anything would just prolong the inevitable, stretching time proportionally with the degree of dilution. But that's just an uneducated guess.
