Balance engine oil ----use as household lubricant.

[Tianmo]

Ok two days back my maid came running to me.............the fan had stopped turning again...........the last time I sprayed some WD40 and it lasted for 2 months............this time ran out of WD40...........so I put afew drops of my balance engine oil............and it started to turn as new....

 

and so.........idea came to my mind...........I poured some engine oil into a spray container given by NEA (my area now hotspot lor).....and went around spraying on metal joints at home.............better than using WD40..........smooth smooth....

 

so for those with balance engine oil .............don't throw away............use it as household lubricant and save the money buying WD40........

 

those who do servicing at WS.........take back the balance of the engine oil......................don't let them sell those balance oil to others.............you paid for the oil after all...............and save some money on that can of WD40........

 

hope this idea can help make full use of balance engine oil........ [laugh]

 

this is the 30ml bottle from NEA which I use to contain my engine oil spray...........

During the 70's used engine oil was reuse as anti corrosion fluid when storing up machineries and tools

That's a very good idea, thanks for sharing. Any issue with the EO coming out of the spray nozzle, meaning is it too thick?

I read from BITOG they use ATF + Acetone for lubricating hinges. This combination allow the oil to penetrate into crevices and acetone will evaporate leaving the ATF for lubricating.

 

I think ATF is thinner than engine oil would be better, apply it using syringe for more precise application. Spray is a bit messy.
