depends what you're using it on. PB is great for rust but since it's petroleum-based you dont want it anywhere near rubber. Rubber components you want to use a water based lubricant like WD-40 (hence the WD).

They also call it heat valve lube pn: 1052627


I have seen the mazda guys using this stuff I am definatley going to pick up a can of that. It look like it worked great. I also heard the mitsubishi dealer has a brand that also works awsome. Anyone work for mitsubishi?

spray 1 inch of pb blaster into a faom cup and in another cup spray 1 inch of "the other guy" and watch waht happens......idk
It also makes great fire balls when heated up with a torch....perfect if your low on heating oil and need a alternate heating source......

I dont use wd-40 for anything but metal cutting, threading, and/ or parts assembly,

I use jig-a-loo to kill ants (seriously it works) I have used it for everything I would rate it one step below pb blaster as a penitrant spray, there is not one thing you can't use it for (well don't eat it or breathe it) , it contains methylene chloride the banned industrial solvent, that stuff messes you up if you breathe the fumes in


That's why I don't want to use it anymore it smells like shit, I don't want it on my cloths anymore or want it touching my skin either....why can't they make a penitrant spray that smells like strawberries.......Wait a minute...that might be a bad idea......hmmmm.

When I worked at a Dodge dealership we used "mopar rust penitrant" this stuff worked like a dream, too bad they discontinued it.

there was a test done showing several penetrating fluids. PB worked better then wd40. Actually ATF mixed with something else was even better. If I find the link I'll post it up.

edit I can't find the actual article but someone on the net quoted it so I will do the same.
A study done by Machinist's Workshop magazine in their April 2007 issue looked at different penetrating oils to see which one did the best job of removing a rusted bolt by measuring the pounds of torque required to loosen the bolt once treated. If the study was scientifically accurate, it turns out a home brew works best!

Here's the summary of the test results:
Penetrating oil ..... Average load
None ...................... 516 pounds
WD-40 ................... 238 pounds
PB Blaster .............. 214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ...... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............. 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds
