Lucas Oil 10152 Assembley Lube-118ml

Product Information

There are dozens of assembly lubes available, including those from various oil suppliers as well as camshaft and bearing manufacturers. The ingredients in these products are proprietary and there are differences from one product to another. Some grease-based products are not soluble in oil and will end up in the oil filter after the has been running. Others are oil-soluble and will continue to circulate with the motor oil until the oil and filter are changed. Some lubes have a paste-like consistency and are applied with a brush while others are more like honey and can be applied from a squirt bottle.

For this article, I will try to help you make better informed decisions when choosing assembly lubes and lubricants. First, do you need engine assembly lubes at all? As a physicist-motorhead who has built and destroyed his share of engines, I think so. What I liked most about this grease is its unique minty smell. This thing will probably help a lot of those who can not tolerate the petroleum odor from the lubricants. You can use grease for assembly lube, but it’s not the best option. Grease is designed to stay put and not wash away like oil. This can make it difficult to get the parts to seat properly during assembly. 4. What Can I Use As Assembly Lube?Since the engines always run on extreme temperature this is a very crucial factor. On top of that, you can easily clean up used lithium greases by using soap and water. This thing saves you from a lot of hassle. Many times, oil filters tend to clog due to the deposition of dirt. Consequently, the filters clog, damaging the other components and making the oil contaminated. So, the assembly lubes that can mix the dirt and sludge should be chosen. Easy to Clean: I would not use assembly lube with the valves (in the valve guides), but just oil there. The reason for this is because there is no way to flush the assembly lube out of this orifice like there is in other places throughout the engine. Don’t use grease on every part of the engine because it is so stiff that it will make that first start difficult. Use grease only where oil flow and surface protection is less than desirable such as:

The engine lubes applied to cling with the components for a very long time to save them from friction and corrosion. So, you must should the assembly lubes with higher adherence. You’ll get to know about the adherence through the viscosity level. A higher viscosity level indicates a higher adherence. Semi-Synthetic: The lubes with higher viscous force prevent friction. The same is the case with this one. I’ll recommend it for the rebuild engines as those go through dry surfaces and frictions more frequently. Overall, I consider this one as the best assembly lube for engines, especially the rebuilt ones. The working temperature range is wide and it can withstand high-temperature engine conditions. The manufacturer named it as an extreme pressure lubricant. I believe this thing will prove it in that condition.

There is no definitive answer to this question as it will vary depending on the specific engine and the assembly lube being used. Assembly lube is also designed to be used during the assembly process of an engine or other machinery, whereas grease is typically used to lubricate finished products. But what about those engine components not directly lubricated by engine oil pressure? Camshaft lobes, flat tappet lifters, and pushrod tips are lubricated only by splash after the engine is running. One can use oil to lubricate these parts prior to startup, but what about long-term storage? Repco's vast range of Penrite Lubricants includes a complete line-up of Penrite Engine Oils, Penrite Transmission fluids, Penrite Gear Oils, Penrite Additives, Penrite Coolants and Penrite Motorcycle and Marine Products. Repco carries Penrite mineral engine oils as well as semi-synthetic and full synthetic engine oils, giving our customers the best selection of lubricants to suit their vehicles.

Although you can use just engine oil or any general-purpose grease as an assembly lube. But this is not recommended. There are many engine assembly lubricants in the market formulated by the experts. You should use any one of them to keep your engine safe and healthy. Q. What is the engine assembly lube used for?However, I’ve learned something very important about which properties you must have in the grease you utilize. First, the grease must be oil soluble. If you use a grease like a white paste many people used years ago, you will find this material is not oil soluble, and you will plug oil filters with a white residue. That’s okay if you remember to change oil filters immediately after the engine is run for a few minutes, but I like things to be automatic so I don’t have to rely on my faulty memory. Lube is meant to lubricate firmly every nook and corner. So, this lube oil lubricates well, which ensures the proper functionality of the components. The bearings can experience a friction-free rotation due to this oil. Most importantly, this lube increases the life span of the engine parts by supplying proper additives as well. Slow Drying: Lucas Assembly Lube protects surfaces that must be assembled, reduces friction, and prevents seizing, galling, and scuffing.
