Best penetrating oil??
Why, Marvel's Mystery Oil, of course!
Not the Top Overhaul or Fuel/Oil additive stuff, but the real Marvels
Mystery Oil.
Been using the stuff for 40 odd years now. And does it ever work!
Learned about it in Aircraft Mechanics School from some old time
Aircraft Mechanics who who had become instructors. These guys knew the
good old ways.
Marvel's Mystery Oil combined with GM Bully's 200 Taps Method will just
about loosen anything. Like all things, there may be exceptions, but
they are few.
