Honestly, I think Reika's gone overboard with lubricant usage rates.
What are you running? Magnetostatic engines? Pfft...try running a high pressure turbine, *then* you'll feel the pressure of lubricant production. L5 Magnetostatic engine = 1 mB/t. HP turbine: ca. 50 mB/t.

Having said that, yeah, I totally agree he has gone overboard.

Might I ask how big (footprint) this building? I'm preparing to scale up to this, and trying to gauge how big it should go.
I'm doing it all on one level. 6 8x3 patches of canola, with one row of blocks in-between to place AM2 Sigils of Nature's Bounty and Lilypads of Fertility. You could halve the space requirement by adding a Blood Magic ritual and Thaumcraft lamps of growth, but they of course require their own fuel. Anyway, this makes enough canola for 4 buckets per second of lubricant. You need two grinders powered by 4 MW each and you will want to use Extra Cells fluid import buses to get the lubricant out of the grinders because all other methods require multiple connections per grinder or they won't be able to keep up with production.
