Phil Wood 4-Ounce Tenacious Oil

I used this oil to rebuild my Sturmey Archer AW hub on my 1974 Schwinn. So far, I've had a really great if limited experience. Firstly, the oil is truly tenacious; it sticks to where it's applied and the hub works really well when lubed with this stuff. This oil is thicker than most machine oils leading me to find one potential fault; the hub has a tiny oil fitting where, periodically, I add oil to replenish and lube the hub. The fitting might be too small for adequate lubrication and I fear oil added to this port via other means will not make its way to the pawls, gears, etc. I was sure to properly lubricate the internals (especially the pawls and pawl springs) prior to reassembly but I'm not confident oil added to the fitting would make its way throughout the hub. I'll probably attempt to add a few drops of oil after about 200 miles and update my review accordingly.

I use this for the lug assembly of my AR-15, which gets a lot of pressure and mechanical movement. I like this because it has a medium-low viscosity yet stays in place like a grease. It’s a great mineral-based oil for applications where you want something lighter than grease but want it to stay in place.

The last drive train lube you will ever need. for best results, follow the instructions: use judiciously and don't over-apply. If used correctly, the 4oz bottle shown could last years. It's strength is in its ability to adhere to metal surfaces and produce an effective thin protective film. Also works great around the house - a drop will permanently silence a squeeky door. You will find countless uses for it wherever metal meets metal.

This is the coolest stuff. Its super sticky but super slick. You have to feel it to understand. I would not say its a high speed lube, too sticky, but its great for other things. I used it to lube a bicycle shock and its like butter

I ordered this oil after reading a Sheldon Brown review. As I ordered it, this prompt appeared warning me that part of my order was toxic and could cause CANCER?!?!!!! What?? I'm just trying to lube my bike chain... Not DIE in the process! I went ahead and ordered anyway because I had heard so many positive things about it. When I recieved the oil, it was packaged in a plastic zip-loc bag. The crazy thing about it is... I could smell the product through the baggie... Not that it was leaking... This stuff is STRONG! You can lube 747 jet parts with this stuff! The directions do instruct you to use it in a well ventilated area, which is good and you're definitely gonna need fresh air when using it. It doesn't take a lot to lube anything with this... If you can help it, store the product in a well-sealed (tool box.. storage container) or well-ventilated area. A few drops and you're golden. It's nicely THICK! I imagine this product lasting a LONG time & glad I purchased it.

This stuff is amazingly sticky. It's super viscous, if that is the right word. If you put it between your fingers and pull them apart, you will see these little strands of oil that want to stay together. It truly is tenacious. Because it is so sticky, it also attracts a lot of dirt. It seems that my drive train is dirtier than ever, though well lubricated. I think the trick is to make sure to wipe as much of the stuff off as you can when applying, which I have to admit, I did not do. Even with the dirt, I like it.

I buy this stuff because I have a Phil Wood freehub body and this is the specified lubricant. It’s probably too thick to use as a general purpose oil, but for an application that requires a thick oil, it seems to work very well. Like Phil Wood waterproof grease (which I use in my ball bearing hubs), I’m sure there’s a less-expensive alternative that works just as well. But this is one of those “use it and don’t worry” products, and for me that’s worth a few extra bucks.

I like this oil because it stays on whatever you apply it to. I’ve used it to lubricant the moving parts on my floor jack, transmission jack , cart wheel bearings, pliers and just about anything that needs a little help.
