Duralube is the best for us. We used it to loosen a nut on our webber. It was really tight, and within minutes, it was loose. We also use it for the cars or anything.

We've used One Lube by slick 50, Wd, etc. But, by far, Duralube is our favorite.

WD40 is NOT a lubricant.... it is more the opposite.

It is a penetrating fluid.

Valvoline synthetic spray-lube is good stuff, too. Rust Eater does a great job of removing frozen bolts--better than WD40.

We use Moly Lube at work.
But there is this stuff my father-in-law has that the military uses on their jets, it has a part # instead of a name but can't remember it. Wish it was sold to the general public.

We use Super Slick Slick Stuff at work for lube and penetrating oil. We use dry film silicone spray for door hinges and locks. When I'm doing the PMs I use ATF, 80-90 gear lube, WD40(as a cleaner,lube) DTE 13M, DTE 24, Mobilux EP2 and various other equipment specific lubes.
The SSSS lube is very good, I found it on the net and we have been using it for two years.
To clean off oiland old grease I use Natural Blue cleaner as it is more friendly to me as apposed to something that is clorinated.
Oh yeah tried PB Blaster we found it to not do most of what we needed for it to do. Since we care for millions of dollars worth of equipment we can use what ever we like and works.

Just in case you guys didnt know, wd-40 is about the worst thing you can use to loosen a rusted bolt up. In fact....wd-40 is pretty useless in most cases, except for (gasp) water displacement.

Blaster is the best penetrating oil i know of. Everyone says there's a better one, but they're always some kind of special order spray you have to order from uzbeckistan.

I agree, it's great stuff, however I can't seem to find it around here anymore. Even had two local parts stores call their supplier, no luck..... Who has it by you?

I used the last of mine on the screw of my Automatic G-Door Opener, you wouldn't believe how quiet and smooth it now operates.

I even Emailed Valvoline about where I can get it...got no reply!

I've got some 3m penetrating oil that works great, and some 3M silicon lube that also works great.

All petroleum is a lubricant, some are just better than others.

I use Deep Creep, made by Sea Foam, slickern deer guts.'


Anything that is an oxidizer catalyst will break up rust. Rust is simply oxidized iron (Ferrite). PB blaster is a catalyst.
