Hi Petro,

if you check the Material safety data sheet of the Leica oil, you will
find that the producer is Zeiss. We are refilling the nice 10 ml Leica
bottles with plastic rods from a 500 ml Zeiss 518F for years now, no
problem at all.

I do not think that this is the same for other oils though. We had some
substantial chromatic aberrations in the deep red with Cargile HF. So
for a Leica Microscope I would buy either form Leica or from Zeiss. Then
you get what the objectives were calculated for.
