Penetrating Oil Showdown Episode 2. Will Seafoam Deep Creep prevail?

This test demonstrates that not all penetrating oils are equal. In fact, the see-through plastic/rusty bolt test shows which ones actually penetrate and which ones don't. Which penetrating fluid is best? In this showdown, Brake Fluid, Seafoam Deep Creep, Fluid Film, BG In-Force, WD-40 Rust Specialist, CRC Knock'er Loose. Consider selecting the bell in the upper right hand corner to get notified of future videos. Deep Creep won the competition with CRC Knock-er Loose coming in a close 2nd.

But, if they are in a place where I can I purposely just snap them or cut anyways. But I agree, prep and thought are key when able. But I also agree with the other guys in time is everything. Most the time these oils are mainly for the exposed threads and having lube with the heat of friction from removal. I find this video entertaining but pointless as well. Besides everyone in the old world knows that brake fluid and apple cider vinegar are the ultimate for anything you have time to free up.

I was always taught that PB Blaster and other penetrating oils work best if left to work for a LONG time, at least overnight if not 24 hours. Sure, sometimes I spray it on with less than 5 minutes to work, but my experience is that spraying the day before works MUCH better. No hard data to back it up, though. I'd love to see you give the PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, and Seafoam Deep Creep a 24 hour test.

[@harveywallbanger3123]

Not all threads are seized for the same reason. Penetrating oil does not help if the threads are seized due to physical deformation due to heat or excessive force. This can sometimes happen on even a single thread without you realizing it, and no amount of soak will fix it. I still do a 24 hour soak anyway. If it won't break loose then, I go straight to the oxy-acetylene torch and get serious. Learned this lesson the hard way many times over.

My only suggestion is when you do these test, is how about putting the bolts sideways or horizontal rather then vertical when putting on these oils. I don't know about most people but the nut/bot's I usually have to get lose are sideways. So the oil won't penetrate as easily as what is shown in this video.

Thank you very much!

[@mikewilliams9739]

I think the drip application method may have hindered the performance of some of the foaming oils, but I recognize just how hard it is to try to isolate all the variables.

[@aaronschocke2147]

I use aluminum foil tape. It will cut through the tape eventually, but it can take long enough easily "bathe" bolts in awkward positions!!

[@aaronschocke2147]

Use it to cup around the stubborn hardware

[@merritts3515]

I've been getting in the habit of spraying Down rusted bolts days before I plan on wrenching. Very helpful

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@benisplayin]

The test is very well designed. There are many variations and conditions to factor in allowing an accurate decision to be made. Just by having more than one bolt tested for each product under the same procedure eliminates many test variables. Nice work. I do so enjoy!

[@justanobserver530]

I do realize that you generally don't have hours to wait but when you do it really makes a difference on what works. I restore cars and I really don't mind when things that work the best take a while. I have used most everything, I think, and found Kroil oil seems to work the best. It sometimes takes much longer than most people are willing to wait but it's my go to.

[@medicmule]

When working on my own machines, I sometimes let things soak overnight as long as I don't need the machine immediately... Getting out a torch or broken bolts slow me down a lot more than just waiting.

[@jerrygaber6150]

I once rebuilt spring shackles on a 73 Nova spraying them with wd40 every day for 2 weeks. If you take time like that, go cheap. Works great!

[@MrBadboy6061]

If I have it, Kroil is the best, if not, I always use PB Blaster, everything else just takes too much time

[@TitoRigatoni]

@@medicmule yeah same here. I'm rarely doing just one job at a time, if I run into a stuck bolt I'll oil it and move on to a different job for a few hours.

[@chinncannon]

I'm surprised to hear you say that 'nobody' waits three hours to let penetrating oil work in the real world! I was always told by my dad and other auto mechanics that if drilling out or extracting the bolt will be time consuming and expensive, then let the oil penetrate overnight and maybe even put some heat on it and spray more penetrating oil. It's often not feasable drilling out and re-tapping a bolt. Time and heat and oil are your friends.

[@CP-tm7be]

Right! When I use penetrating oil, it goes on the day before I try to extract the bolt or whatever. Sometimes a couple applications over 2 days. But that's just home use. Mechanics are under more time constraints.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great feedback. Thank you

[@chronos2047]

maybe you and your dad but on the dealer shop and regular shop they don't wait too much, time means money.

[@Cautela]

Yep this is the correct way to use penetrating fluid on stubborn bolts/nuts; sometimes a few minutes to an hour will do the trick, but that's just luck. Spray, re-apply, and leave it alone overnight has always worked for me on all manner of vehicle exhaust fasteners.

[@iHelpSolveIt]

That depends on your level of skill... And the size of bolt, for a 10mm bolt, centre punch three drill sizes and that done in less than 30mins

[@johnherrmann7464]

Great video, as always! If you do another video, I'd be interested in seeing Kroil included. Thanks!

[@ProjectFarm]

I have always had great results from all Seafoam products. I'm not too sure about brake fluid loosening nuts and bolts however, Dot 3 makes an excellent paint remover. Good job as always Todd.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@Quantum-]

I don't know about most people but I always prep my bolts the night before the job. I do my own work on my own vehicles. I'll soak them down night before, morning of and sometimes even a few minutes before actually doing the job. I get a lot of guys have little to no time to prep. But that time seems to make a good bit of difference for those that have the ability to utilize the time.

[@ianmackenzie686]

I'm with you. When not in a rush and having the luxury of time, I'll spray rusted bolts for several days and bang on with a chisel. This helped me remove three very rusted battery tray bolts with an air impact wrench.

[@mrd4865]

@@ianmackenzie686 Same here. Unfortunately there are many times where something breaks and needs to be fixed now. In those cases heat, spray and impact.

[@j.m.5744]

That is pointless. When you're conducting tests to determine if a product simply works as intended, any scientist would start with a basic test. If the product fails on a basic test, then you have your answer without creating multiple situations. When the product demonstrates an ability to work under simple conditions, this would then be the time to change the test.

Anecdotal confirmation of the WD-40 result. Went to the hardware store to get more Deep Creep. Didn't have it, came home with WD-40. Taking the flatbed off my 1949 Ford pickup, the bolts that I missed with WD-40 came off significantly easier.

@@carinhall4508 me too. It sure beats PBlaster in my experience. My favorite was a pressed in 40" x 8" bearing race in a VTL. We put as much hydraulic pressure on it as we could and nothing happened. We spent a few hours pounding on it and nothing happened. So I said "what the heck, let's see what happens" and poured Kroil all around the perimeter and we planned to wait fifteen minutes for it to kreep in if it could. After 6 or 7 minutes it started creaking and popped right out whilst we were standing there. I just can't believe that PBlaster or any of the other oils I've used over the years would've krept in there.
