I don't have my can of RectorSeal #5 in front of me, but it smells like
linseed oil, looks like linseed oil when it separates, and therefore until
I find out otherwise I'm not getting it anywhere near any oxygen fittings!

It is, however, an excellent thread sealant for anything on a Vanagon, and
as was mentioned, one can is likely a lifetime supply. I picked up a can in
the early '80s and it's still good.

YMMV,

Gary
