cookj5 Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 When the electricity went off for several hours in Ajijic last night, I discovered that all of my oil lamps were dry and I had no replacement oil. Does anyone know of a store in the lakeside area where I can buy oil for my lamps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapalence Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Superlake has had it from time to time. If it was me, I would learn what it is called in Spanish and ask around at some ferreterías. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited three different ferreterias and none carried it. One carried a kerosene lantern and sold kerosene, but I don't want to use that inside my house.

I checked Walmart with no success at all, even after asking several employees. The Dollar Store on the Plaza did have one bottle of Aceite de Citronela, but the container said "exterior". There was nothing else. Still looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Gal Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 I have bought lamp oil at a store located on the west side of the street just south of where Pedro's Go restaurant is located. They sold a wide variety of cleaning supplies. Not sure if the store is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo lady Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Also good to keep on hand, fondue fuel / methyl alcohol / methyl hydrate (all the same thing) and a fondue burner or two. Candles as well. And here's a good link to use when the power IS working and you just need a visual & audio warm up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
