Can gear oil be used for its rust inhibitors for other projects like preserving metals ? Or cleaning ?

Yep, several around these parts put there used engine oil on there wooden trailer decks.People use used engine oil to preserve wood, but Gear oil is another animal that may be bad I guess
I use a mix of old engine oil and diesel on my hay wagon and 25' Gooseneck deck boards. The drippings work well as an undercarriage rust inhibitor at the same time. I just roll it on thick in the summer and it gets absorbed well.Yep, several around these parts put there used engine oil on there wooden trailer decks.
Treated wood not what it use to be......
You are correct, I forgot to mention the diesel fuel mix.I use a mix of old engine oil and diesel on my hay wagon and 25' Gooseneck deck boards. The drippings work well as an undercarriage rust inhibitor at the same time. I just roll it on thick in the summer and it gets absorbed well.
Thank you sir!Adjust lubegard accordingly to % PUP in the oil pan.
Do you have hemi tic that was helped by lubeguard or you just running it for the extra protection? I generally dont see the benefit of mixing biotech with redline, now your mixing makes it less on an issue since you have most of the sump PUP. You are mixing two ester products and in theory that can "potentially" throw off the balance of the oil. Unless this helps a certain situation you are having, I would not be heading this direction.Not to sway off the current posts, but after alot of reading on here, and asking questions I went out last month and ordered up the new base for the truck. Ordered up a half dozen RP filters, a dozen bottles Lubegard, and got 3 5liter jugs of 5W30 PUP on sale for $41.99 each ($31.04 US).
Well walking through a local CT tonight I literally turned a corner and smack dab looking at some clearance oil on a shelf. Got all 11 1q Redline 5W30 that were sitting there, $9.93 each ($7.34 US).
They have about 14 Redline 0W40 sitting there, but I quickly googled someone asking Burla about that awhile ago and got the answer I needed, left them there.
So next oil change I will do the RL. The one after can I mix the quarts I have left with the PUP? And would I bother throwing any Lubegard in that mix seeing as there will be about 3 q of RL??
No just want prevention. That was the PUP Lubegard route. I just happened upon the Redline deal. I wasn't going to mix the Redline/Lubegard, but with the extra liters of RL I will have for the 2nd change I was wondering if adding them to the PUP would have enough benefit that maybe adding some Lubegard???Do you have hemi tic that was helped by lubeguard or you just running it for the extra protection?

Lubeguard is 100% safe when used with shelf oils, redline is 100% when ran by itself, lubeguard plus redline is an unknown. Small risk does not mean no risk. There is a lot of paper in this thread on benefits and risks of esters.
So maybe a good route while I have the RL is mix a quart with the PUP and shelf the Lubegard until all the RL is used up? Then breakout the LG for the PUP changes way down the road.I have said it like 100 times or more, if my opinion has value, dont mix biotech and redline end of story. The only exception is if redline didnt kill some hemi lifter tick, then potential benefits out weight the risks. I dont really have anything else to say on it. Yes mixing redline and pup is 100% safe or redline with any shelf oil. Perhaps even a good idea, using 5w30 redline x a quart versus biotech 15 ounce. I can make an argument that the redline used in this manner would out perform the biotech when you consider viscosity and other aspects of both products.
It seams on this issue has it happens a good bit is that people ignore what I am saying and just use their own strategy, which is perfectly fine. But I'm not changing my thoughts on it, esters react with seals, if that goes out of balance it is an issue. Shelf oils are nuetral, they arent gonna mess with this, biotech is an ester product along with moly. It is poor mans redline a fine strategy by itself, but their is a reason why it is called poor mans reldine and not rich mans redline, it is not as effective.
Murphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!Hey, long time no post.
How you guys been? All is well here, my Hemi is about 91,000 tick free miles. Been running Amsoil SS 5-20 for a long time.
I think I'm going to switch to 5-30, getting up in miles and such. What do you think?
Oh yea, I wrote a new song about my Granddaddy's Pocket Knife.

Thanks for that song treat of a song right there. Operate on the dog, lol.... You made my day, ode to the pocket knife, love it.
I will come out of retirement for one last recommendation, in the future if someone needs some help pm meThanks, Burla.
You da man.
So, ya think I should move to 5-30 after all those miles?
It contains about 10% TMP ester so its a slight ester additiveAnyone seen this? Is it the real deal or snake oil?

I prefer my wifes homemade French Onion soup over canned soups
Well, at first glance it's a no? I mean nothing better then grilled cheese and mato soup, top 5 dish for me, maybe top ten, but common now you cant put that in a can? I must admit if I see it I will try it, but I am not having high hopes. I seriously doubt this tops my 2 favorite soups minestrone or chicken and dumplings. What is your favorite soup??
