The Best Oil I've Found to Unstick a Stuck Engine

Hey Folks,

I mentioned this in a previous post and just wanted to highlight it a bit. I found a product that works real well. The product is named "TriFlow" lubricant. This stuff is great! Spray it on rust and it starts to foam and do its job. I have used it on shock absorber bolts (1/2") that I couldn't move without breaking the bolt, and later (just minutes) after spraying it came off with the minimal effort of one hand on the wrench.

Although it is becoming more and more common to find it at auto stores, TriFlow certainly isn't as easy to find as competing products, but leaps and bounds better in my opinion. I am lucky enough to have an industrial supply near me that stocks it.

I have compared it to PB Blaster, JB Lube, K&W, WD-40, 3in1, Permatex, Liquid Wrench, Knock'er Loose, and many others, and none of them come close.

Pick some up and give it a try. And no, I don't work for the company. I'm not even sure who makes it for that matter.

I've got my own "mix"... Brake fluid and diesel fuel. (1/3 BF, 2/3 diesel) Works good, Can't say cheap, but cheaper than some things.

Yes i"ve used that mix too, however, brake fluid eats paint so its use is limited.

I remember my dad using straight brake fluid - seemed to work well...
