Other products of amsoil

I visited this site to learn more about tractors, and was surprised to see amsoil as your sponser. I didn't know about their sythetic oil, I do mechanical work, and at work they use to have amsoil MP (metal protector). I used this stuff for everything from freeing up frozen bolts, freeing sticky parts, and of course protecting metal surfaces. I use to use it in pneumatics too, it was great at freeing up sticking valves.

I usually don't endorse too many products, but this product literally has hundreds of applications around your home. I know members who work on their tractors would find it very useful. In fact when I seen it on your site, I had to go and order some since I have never seen it in stores. You have to search for "amsoil mp" on their site tho, it is kind of hidden. They also list a heavy duty MP that claims to stick to roller chains and resist salt. Both come in a spray can. :fing32:

Thank you for for the feedback dagreth !
Amsoil Metal protector (MP) has a multitude of uses, I personally use it on my guns as a protector to prevent rust, I also found that when deer or pheasant hunting when temps go below zero MP will not get thick and gummy like Remlube and many of the other gun oils will, thus eliminating misfires caused by an action that will not cycle properly.
It also works excellent as a penetrant and as a metal protector to prevent corrosion, I use it to prevent rust on occasional use tools that get put away and not thought about again until needed.
Another thing I use it for is key locks on vehicles and exterior doors, it displaces moisture and keeps them from freezing up when it gets cold.
Another product you mentioned is Heavy Duty Metal Protector ( MPHD)
MPHD is an awesome chain lube, I have many area farmers using this product on planter chains and corn and bean head chains.
MPHD comes in an aerosol can and sprays out as a liquid that penetrates into the pins and bushings of the chain, once applied the solvents evaporate and it leaves behind a dry waxy film that lubricates beautifully, but does not attract dust.
Most chain lubes stay wet after application, wet chains attract dust to them, the dust mixes with the chain lube and makes a gritty lapping compound that ends up increasing the wear and reducing the life of the pins and bushings in the chain.
The farmers I have using MPHD swear by it, most are reporting 2 to 3 times longer chain life on planter and cornhead chains versus the wet type chain lubes they were previously using.
Another place I use MPHD is on battery terminals, because the waxy residue it leaves seals out oxygen which eliminates corrosion.
Once I have cleaned the terminals I give them a coat and let it set until the solvents evaporate, I repeat this until I have 2 or 3 coats on the terminals.
Dont forget motorcycle and atv chains, it works super on them as well, and is compatible with o-ring type chains.

I second Amsoil MP, good stuff :fing32:

How well does that stuff work at preventing rust on bare metal?

To be more clear; does it stay where applied, or run when it comes in contact with water?

Amsoil MP works great at preventing rust on bare metal, I have used it on all of my guns for the past 7 years, from my Benelli to my old beater winchester single shot kept in the garage, it protects them beautifully.
I sprayed down my old winchester in the garage about 6 months ago, to test if the MP was still effective I put the end of the barrel under the faucet, the water beads up and runs off sort of like a fresh wax job on a car.
It is the only penetrant I use in my shop, as it performs as well or better than most penetrants on the market.
Amsoil MP is also very resonably priced, If you purchase through my website it is about $5 per can, If you purchase wholesale as a preferred customer or dealer MP will cost you $ 3.55 per can in a case of 12 cans.
Give it a try, you'll wonder how you got along without it !
Have a great day !

Good to know, thank you Don.

One other question about Amsoil MP, does it require continuous multiple applications on equipment and parts that are/can be exposed to the elements? The reason I ask is a lot of companies have these "spray it and forget it" claims, then when the product is used, you have to reapply everytime it rains. I know no product is perfect, but I hope MP is better.

I have not tried Amsoil MP on metal that I keep in the elements, with dust and rain I'm sure over time it will loose it's effectiveness and need to be recoated.
Amsoil does have a product that will last much much longer in the elements to prevent corrosion, it's called Amsoil Heavy duty metal protector(MPHD),it comes in an aerosol can and sprays out as a liquid, then the solvents evaporate and leave behind a dry waxy film that locks out moisture and does not attract dust.
MPHD is an awesome chain lube, another place I use it is on battery terminals, as it locks out oxygen and prevents corrosion on the terminals, it does not come off easy and would need to be sc***** off or apply a solvent to remove it.
Amsoil MPHD is also very reasonably priced, maybe it would fit the bill for your application !
