Tri-Flow TF0021060 Superior Lubricant Drip Bottle

In this modern age there're ONLY a hand full of lubricants worthy of your consideration for just about anything that needs penetrating oil, a corrosion and rust inhibitor, does not attract dust and moisture, leaves a lubricating film when evaporated, does not turn to a varnish like mess when it dries, exceeds all other oils in temperature range use from -55F to 300+F degrees, and they are the synthetic oils. I'll mention three of the best and of the more common in this review. They are: Birchwood-Casey Gun Oil, Tri-flow, and Loctite's Super Lube with PTFE. When comparing synthetic oils and greases that contain (PTFE PolyTetraFluoroEthylene or Teflon) there is no comparison with the regular fossil, mineral, or vegetable all purpose oils because synthetic oils are much better by far. Yes, they're more expensive, but they'll out perform and out last ALL natural base oils. Synthetic oils are not the oils grandpah swore by, and as the knowledge he handed down generationally. All you have to do to believe that statement is to see what the pros use now for extreme environment conditions for guns, fishing, racing and other extreme sport's that require lubrication for their mechanical equipment, and then not having to worry about rust, corrosion, failure, and other nasty things when placed back into storage. Also, more and more companies are recommending synthetic oils with PTFE for their products such as 2,000 dollar deep sea reels and other high value equipment. They work great for a squeaky door hinge to 1,000+ dollar bicycles for the chain, sprockets, shift and brake lever cables because synthetic lubes are best, and they don't attract dirt and moisture, nor gum things up which would make smooth shifting difficult. These products also are made as a light grease too if you need a thicker viscosity that leans towards anti-thixotropic behavior. In many instances just a few drops or dabs is all that's needed. They're available in drop by drop bottles, pour bottles for personal needs, spray cans, and grease form in cans or squeeze tubes. If you believe that natural oils are better, then your head is in the 19th century. Not only do I recommend these products, I cannot emphasize their importance enough. Treat yourself to one of these synthetic oils with PTFE, and you'll never go back to grandpah's general purpose lube oils again, and that's a good thing because today's devices require better and tougher lubrication due to higher load conditions, temperature extremes, and the exotic metals used today.

Review form asked me to rate scent. Why are we rating lubricants on their aroma? Yeah, it has a smell bit it wares off. Wouldn't it be stupid if the manufacturer produced an inferior product to appease Amazon's stupid review metric? Yeah, I wouldn't want to wear it. It's about as relevant as asking about taste. Needless to say I rated the aroma 5 stars and recommend you do the same. Regarding the actual performance: I honestly wasn't expecting to be impressed after over saturating myself on all the positive reviews. I'm kind of a lube freak. I own an embarrassment of lubes of myriad varieties. Lately, I've been especially interested in lubricants containing PTFE. Wet & dry. Anyway, of the 5 or so in this class of lubes that I've purchased on Amazon (all 4.5 stars or more) I've found this to be the single best performing and most versatile. Of course, how they all hold up once after application remains to be seen. Only thing I prefer dry or film PTFE lubes for would be bike chains in arid/dusty conditions & locks, generally. Anything where dust & grime buildup is likely & would risk performance &/or is difficult/time consuming to remove. That said, this lube doesn't seem particularly prone to that kind of buildup & perhaps that's where the PTFE comes in. It's hard saying. So far, I've found it effective for door hinges, lubricating tap bits before tapping holes, for a hair clipper (dry lube probably not worth the risk & they're designed for frequent lubrication anyway so buildup isn't a concern), lubricating sand paper for polishing, lubricating sliding door & window tracks & oiling the ball bearing on an old fan (yes, that might attract dust but it's how it's done in the factory and I'm not inclined to experiment, at the moment). It's probably wasteful but I've used it to assist a spray catalyst on a rusted on brake rotor in a moment of desperation.

This one of the best oils for your sewing machine, it’s the only oil I used since I found it , it works amazing in all my sewing machines. Say goodbye to noisy machines and hello to lubricante machines. I’m sure my machines are happy and so I am with the results. It’s an amazing oil and does a wonderful job !! It’s a wonderful oil for your old machines and new machines, sewing machines love this oil :)

Very good chain and ring oil for my road bicycles. Been using this product for over a decade. Local bike shop turned me on to it. However the shop owner retired and the store is closed. Amazon is a blessing.

Lubrication properties very close to cyprene. Excellent anti-corrosion lube. Good for small high precision applications.

Love that it already has ptfe, so I don’t have to add. Wax seems to last, but rain rides require a redo. Too much work. This stuff is great. Comes with a tube applicator. Ez to clean and a quick relube every ride.

I’ve used this oil for years and love it. Not just for chains. I use this for R/C car motors, hair clipper blades, and many other things with no issues.

It's like 3 in 1 oil on steroids. Smells like bananas. Thin, penetrates but lasts.

Compre esto a precio de oferta y estoy muy contento con la compra ya que es un buen lubricante, no adhiere demasiada tierra como otros y ya me ha durando varias lavadas de la bici sin tener que lubricar nuevamente, claro no han sido lavadas a profundidad, solo para quitar lodo o tierra adherida, pero la cadena se ha mantenido aceptablemente limpia, solo es suficiente con una cuantas gotas para lubricar. El envío de Amazon a tiempo como siempre y con un empaque perfecto, sin contratiempos, muy recomendable.

I had read it was better than other lubricants for using in car ignition systems and moving parts- in my case to help when a key is getting stuck--and Yes, it really works well and helps the key to slip into the barrel. I would recommend, very easy to use with ultra thin pipe fitting in the nozzle.

La TriFlow est le meilleur lubrifiant que je connaisse. Elle est fluide mais pas trop. L'odeur est assez forte mais se dissipe vite. Elle ne colle pas en vieillissant. Attention c'est un très petit flacon de 59 ml mais le doseur est pratique.
