Marvel Misery oil is very good but my vote for the best is AERO-KROIL. It can penetrate fissures as small as one millionth io an inch. Don't ask me how they measured that. I only know that it works. Glad everything came out without damage.

Yes it is good, leaks out of every cheap pump oiler I've tried to store it in. I bought a gallon last time, my first experience with it was many years ago when my Mom orderd some for me as a gift. MMO is easy to get and works well to keep the air tool motors clean. CRC has a new pentrating oil advertised in the current automotive press. Will be interesting to see how it works. When I was working on the Kawasaki MULE that had been in a dairy for 13-15 years I started with Kroil, then PB Blaster, then MMO hoping one would loosen the rust on on the fasterners. Got good at just twisting the heads off the bolts with an air wrench and then soaking them again and then drilling them until the drill caught and usually wound the rest of the fastener out. Almost any penetrant works better the longer it is on. Another way that works well is heat the fasterner with a small torch and the let a candle melt on the threads it will follow the threads down as it cools. Won't eat the rust bond though. Max
