You're comparing a highly formulated penetrating oil/solvent (or whatever it is) to pretty much the first thing that comes out of the refinery? |

well speaking of oil, are there any very good deals on oil right now. I'm not talking about a jug and oil filter for $21.99. Im looking for a Coche Blanco special. |

The WD40 was just an extreme example of a multipart formulation that leaves crap behind (but great for de-watering electrical and rust prevention). Motor oils are also highly refined, with multiple hydrocarbon components and non-oil additivesas outline above http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Motor-oil#Properties Here's a good example of the burn test http://www.rx8club.com/trouble-shooting-95/oil-confusion-218187/#post4005969 I'd seen a different example before.

tar can also come from crude oil and is terrible to use as motor oil. i think this is a better extreme example of something not to use as a lubricant that also comes from crude oil. Edited by HelterSkelter, Dec 5 2012, 11:19 PM.
