Well hopefully the changes will make a difference. I kind of hope you don’t use the mineral oil. It can be so dangerous if any went down the wrong way.
I'm thinking maybe I ought to make a note in that article about the dangers of mineral and other oils. I am right in the middle of stuff now, but will answer try to explain why I don't think it's safe later tonight or tomorrow morning.Here is a great picture of anatomy for you by @casportpony that I bookmarked.
