I have a non-automotive application that I want to try a "sticky" oil. The current problem is that the current oil applied to the surface (Supertech 10w-30) runs off due to gravity after a while.
Grease would stay put, but is unsuitable for this application due to it's propensity to attract and mix with pollutants in the operating environment.
I understand that most of any liquid will eventually run down a vertical surface. I just want something that is slower than typical motor oil.
I was thinking of (gasp!) Lucas Oil Stabilizer since I remember their goofy gearbox display and how that stuff stuck to the plastic gears.
The surfaces to be lubricated that are in contact with each other are phosphated steel and anodized aluminum.
