Cutting oil v. thread cutting oil - difference?

The heavy black sulfurized stuff is hightly recommended as a replacement for the oil lard oil used

black stuff works pretty well on threading. Don't ask me if I think it is worth the mess.

My "lat" can of cutiing oil wandered off, so I went to the local
Borg to buy some more. All that they had was pints of "dark" thread
cuttiing oil (Oatey 30203), so I bought that.

I'll be using it for cutting or drillling iron/steel.

What's the difference? For Harry homeowner, does it matter?

Thanks, Robert. When I was shopping, I vaguely remembered that
sulphur was good, but I didn't know why.

I sometimes have solid lard on hand. Ddo you know how that compares
with lard oil? I do know how to turn solid lard liquid. g
