Freeze off. My cousin had rusted on bolts and this stuff really did the trick. It wicks itself into the threads and breaks stuff free.
I need the best penetrating oil

Why I only used it once and happened to be inside the in-laws house. Not good. Bellied up and bought Kroil the next day. One can will last a LONG time
They've had most of those products for 15+ years

I like Seafoam Deep Creep, can't say its the best I've not used everything but I am satisfied with it's performance. When given any chance to do so I will spray parts, and give them as long to sit as possible.
When working on my own vehicles and knowing I'll need to work on it within the week I spray, and give it time to work. Obviously not always an option however it works well for my, and my personal vehicles.
The first time I uses Deep Creep was on a strut I had to replace, sprayed the mounting hardware down, anything I would need to remove. Not drowning the bolts in it just a quick spray on both ends. I remember removing the lower control arm bushing bolt, probably 4-5 inches long, in that time the spray made it the full length of the bolt with the bushing blocking 80%+ from direct contact.
Its worked well for me, I also like some of the non petroleum based penetrating oils as well (yes not technically an oil) like "Super Slick Stuff". Sell it locally at Lowes pretty affordable.

Everyone has their favorites. I have had good luck with Free All. I can't say it is the best. I do not know what the best is because I have not tied everything. I think it did very well in the PF tests. Better than PB Blaster and Kroil which I have used and concur with Project Farm.
If you have something smaller and finer that is stuck or you don't want a stinkie mess try Houdini. That stuff is pretty good!
What kind of ATF are you guys mixing with the Acetone?
Thanks
Thanks
Whatever i have on hand. usually dex 3 or 6.
Kroil. No better.
Would something like ATF+4 work well? Should I use a synthetic or not (prolly not eh?!) Thanks
Should work, i really don't think it matters, in fact a thinner atf is probably better.
If you want to smell like road kill dipped in horse urine, yeah good combo for that. Penetrating oil? Not great.
I use diesel and Dawn soap (cup to a gallon) to make a engine oil wash. Works really good and the diesel will leave behind a shiny, somewhat water repellant residue. I have a lot of diesel and the PB Blaster is what really stinks. Generally try to use it outside and on the bolts though not myself....
I had a can that lasted forever. When I went to re-up - omg at the price. The can I had I got for free. Maintenance guy at work gave it to me.
But yeah, it's good stuff.
