pekingduck, I tried your test - mine did leave a larger stain.
Could you tell me what is the 'Date of issue' on page vi of your manual?
The date of issue in mine is 'November 2012' - the back cover on mine has a copyright date of 2020.
Wanted to make sure this is the latest version.
I just did a little home test. Put a dab of oil on a finger, touched a piece of regular printer paper (what most people selling on-demand copies of manuals use) and it immediately soaked through, no way to wipe it off. Did it on a page of my manual, and I was able to wipe it off with a tissue with minimal stain, no soaking through to the other side.
(I feel like I'm hawking Tide Pods or something)

You mentioned in your post that this is printed on oil resistant paper - seems to be normal paper to me. I'm a bit hesitant to test whether it is oil resistant. Does anyone know how to make out it if it is oil-resistant paper? The cover does seem to be thicker and laminated.

At $49 from Helm, printed on oil resistant paper, it's truly a bargain, and probably one of the last manuals of this type available in print form before everything goes digital.
