Best penetrating oil

[Tschroeder250]

WD-40 or PB Blaster or liquid Wrench?

Also, It seems like using a an oil like this will promote the nut/bolt loosening after they are put back together. E.G. If I use WD-40 to get a lug nut off, why won't the lug nut just slip off again when the tire is back on?

Proper torque !?

Fasteners that have sufficient vibration and can work themselves loose over time generally specify some sort of thread locker. Typically smaller ones where you cannot get sufficient torque without breaking.

I have greased all my lug nuts long ago...

I hear PB blaster recommended far more often than the others for removing seized fasteners.

My grandfather recently told me of a hine brew that is a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF. I haven't used it myself. But him and his friend swear it works great.

I work for a truck dealership and we sell PB blaster all day.I had a customer last week ask for some Howes penetrating oil.Says its the best.Wd40 stands for water displacement.And its the 40th formula.Just some trivia.

Kroil rules.

Google Deal <--- Intro deal for a couple of cans of Aero-Kroil (aerosol cans, you can also buy the stuff in liquid form for your own dispenser).

GREAT great stuff.

Look up tri-flow I really like this stuff

I am a big fan of the blue tipped wrench. never any problems removing a stuborn nut with that...


Other than that, pretty much what ever I have on hand. although good ol' 3 in 1 still does great job without the crappy residue the WD4* seems to gather if left alone...

Freeze-Off is a great new product!

There are literally dozens of penetrating oils out there. Almost all of them are pretty good, because they are based on the same materials. WD-40 is not a penetrating oil though. It is a pretty good water displacer though. It will really take the moisture out of places its shouldn't be.

2nd on the Aerokroil, has surprised me a couple times. It's worth finding a can, if you can.

CRC Knockerloose. Far better penetrant than Kroil.

As someone already mentioned, there is not a bolt or nut the a Victor wrench can't remove.

I really like PB blaster. I'll second the blue tip wrench as well. Basically I like whatever works when something is stuck, squeezing, or not moving smoothly. It also depends on the application.

 

[MoHawk]

Royal Purple actually makes the best penetrating oil.

Penetrating Oil

PB Blaster is my weapon of choice, especially if you're doing the dreaded spark plug swap on the 3V 5.4

 

[bedrck46]

yield was the best I ever used but they are all good if it gets the job done just some do it better than others

 

[2005Expedition]

PB blaster for life

WD-40 Great product, just used it to remove sticky residue from my car due to a sticker I just peeled off.

I agree. It works well.
