[diesel_mercedes] Re : Lubricants

 


WD-40 is a _SOLVENT_ , not a lubricant so after you use it and everything is nice and loosey-goosey , it evaporates , leaving dry joints that rapidly wear and bind again .

This is why it ruins key locks shortly after making them work so smoothly .

WD-0 is crap and should be discarded , use lubricants to lubricate things .

That's a nice site Bill , I couldn't get the page for the air cleaner to open , I'd like to purchase one .
