I used to sell an American product out of Wisconsin called AMS/OIL. Their spray penetrant/lubricant was called MP (metal protector) and not only did it blow any other rust cutter away and with instant reddish brown results, but it left a super-light oil film that remained stable over time. Stuff like WD-40 sucks; non only does it not cut rust or penetrate but it has no oxidative stability whatsoever and eventually turns very tacky (especially when accelerated by proximity to engine heat- carb linkage etc.) I have silenced so many noisy alternator, generator and water pump bearings etc., I can't count. Granted when there is rattle indicating wear/freeplay, a periodic re-application is in order. . . but you'll be instantly satisfied. But the main point here is that the above is the lightest oil I have ever found to be durable enough to stay even on a wheel stud, and yet have total oxidative stability, which believe me is rare in oils of any appreciable film strength. Because of its attributes I used to say, "from typewriters to tie-rod end nuts". Cheers, Terry -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
