Re: [Chrysler300] Fwd: Penetrating Oils

I've used Gibbs for the past few years.  It was recommended to me via a car buddy.  Without a doubt it is the BEST product of it's type I've ever encountered.

I notice they didn't check Gibbs. I would like to have seen how that 
fairly expensive product compared. I know it has been recommended from some 
here.

Just some interesting information to us that still mess around with a 
wrench and pliers at times...John

Penetrating Oils 

Machinist's Workshop magazine recently published some information on 
various penetrating oils that I found very interesting. Some of you might 
appreciate this. The magazine reports they tested penetrates for break out torque 
on rusted nuts. 

They are below, as forwarded by an ex-student and professional machinist. 
They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrates with the 
control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically 
rusted" environment. 

*Penetrating oils ........... Average torque load to loosen* 

No Oil used ...................516 pounds 
WD-40 ..................... ... 238 pounds 
PB Blaster .................... 214 pounds 
Liquid Wrench ...............127 pounds 
Kano Kroil .................... 106 pounds 
ATF*-Acetone mix............53 pounds 

The ATF-Acetone mix is a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic transmission 
fluid and acetone. Note this "home brew" released bolts better than any 
commercial product in this one particular test. 

Our local machinist group mixed up a batch and we all now use it with 
equally good results. Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is almost as good as 
"Kroil" for about 20% of the price. 

Steve from Godwin-Singer says that ATF-Acetone mix is best, but you can 
also use ATF and lacquer thinner in a 50-50 mix.
