Good morning everyone,

My mechanic at work gave me this information

The April/May 2007 edition of Machinint's Workshop did a study on Penetrating oil.

Penetrating Oil Chart

Penetrating Oil Type Average load Cost per fluid ounce
None 516 Lbs $0.00
WD-40 238 Lbs $0.25
PB Blaster 214 Lbs $0.35
Liquid Wrench 127 Lbs $0.21
Kano Kroil 106 Lbs $0.75
ATF-Acetone mix 53 Lbs $0.10

The ATF-Acetone mix was a 50/50 mix (1 to 1 ratio)
