For those that do it yourself

For penetrating oil, get Mouse Milk! We used it in the aviation business for years and it has never made it into the auto business I don't know why? Plus the canister they sell is great, put air into it and you have a pressurized canister. Yep, Mouse Milk

I never used it for penetrating oil, mostly just on turbo waste gates. PB Blaster does the best for me for penetrating oil, Kroil is good to but not as easy to find.

Since I discovered Automatic Transmission Fluid and Acetone I have never looked back. Try it once and you will be convinced it is the only way to go.

Never heard about mouse milk. And like others have stated, you would probably have to milk a bunch of the buggers to get enough to do anything with.

Seriously, though, I just googled this stuff and it may be on par with ATF & Acetone. It is certainly referenced a lot with respect to aviation applications.

Kroil available on Amazon. I'm a believer! I did find it at a Tractor Supply too.

I mix it about 50/50... You have to shake very well to get it to mix. I've used Kroil (love it) and ATF/Acetone is my second choice.
