Bright Stock/Pale Oil (BS/PO) soil represents a typical motor oil soil, but it is more constant in composition than clean or dirty commercial motor oil. It does not require the addition of any dye, as is the case with mineral oil or cooking oil, and when applied to cloth, it produces very uniform soilings. The statistical reproducibility of detergency tests run with BS/PO is better than mineral oil and about as good as sebum.
