I know that non-synthetic dino grease can destroy or at least be hard on some rubber materials. I'm wondering if 3-in-1 multi-purpose oil will also adversely effect rubber?
Looking at the SDS for the oil:
- 97% - Severely Hydrotreated Heavy Naphthenic Oil
- 2% - Naphtha, petroleum
I don't know a lot about this stuff, so guessing: Naptha is made from crude, so non-synthetic oil. So I'm assuming it won't play well with rubber??
---Why am I asking?
So I have a set of studded (Nokian) winter tires sitting around, and noticed that the studs are heavily rusted. Would rather have the studs not rust and become useless during storage, so was gonna put a drop of oil on each. Was about to reach for the 3-in-1 when I realized I might actually damage the rubber (at least enough for the studs to become loose and fall out). I'm guessing I'm better off using a silicone-based oil?
