What are major differences between Engine/Transmission Assembly Lube and Grease?
I made some of this up last weekend to use when I reassembled a small compressor I rebuilt. It's pretty thick and quite tacky. Any way to thin it down slightly and have it still be effective?quote:

A quick and functional Assembly Lube can be made by mixing 75% Schaeffer's #132 and 25% Walmart (SuperTech Blue bottle) oil additive. You will have to heat both bottles in hot water before mixing.
I prefer an assembly lube that has about a 15 cSt viscosity and medium tack. Too many assembly lubes are just to thick and much too tacky.
