But in one case the issur is still taam lshvech and in the other it’s a separate sugya of bishul mayim.
Please explain this. Why doesn't the oil plant have the same sugya involved?

Maybe it does but it wasn’t what I was talking about earlier. I was talking about a regular case where the kailim assured the oil.

Why are you saying it was unused overnight?
Why would you assume otherwise?

Because the vast majority of such venues if not all are open at night selling popcorn?

All night?
ETA ok I see linas layla needs from sunset. Still a factor for a place that closes before that.

That is the "regular case" of oil without a hechsher?

I have no idea. I was asking and speculating about what potentially could assur oil without a hechsher. You are right that that should be a factor too, it just wasn’t mentioned till now.

Of course this is all only in a case where the equipment was clean during the overnight period. This is highly unlikely and is probably extremely difficult to accomplish.

In that case then all R Abadi needs to hold is that you shouldn't speculate like this. You took a pretty strong stand for something based on speculation.

Why is linas layla only if it’s clean? We are dealing with the bliyos.

I don’t know what stance you are referring to.

Anyway, ignorance isn’t always bliss. You may be required to find out, just because I don’t know does not mean others don’t have this information.

Why would it be worse than when there is 60x the residue, where the rema says it’s totally fine??

Why do you think there is? They don't use a lot of oil in these machines. about a half cup to a cup. The layer of oil on bottom is very thin.

If you were able to ensure no non kosher use for 24 hours presumably any residual non kosher oil would be battul at this point, being that there were multiple batches made with kosher oil by now.

Until 24 hours from the issur. Afterwards you start the bitul process, so after a few batches you should be fine.
