Lucas Oil 10152 Assembley Lube-118ml

Product Information

For performance applications, some type of “racing” oil is recommended for optimum protection after the engine break-in process has been completed. Ordinary motor oils (both conventional and synthetic) that meet current API “SN” and ILSAC GF-5 specifications are formulated for late model engines with roller cams and emission controls. 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? Lucas Oil LUC10153 is a high-performance engine assembly lube made for technicians and mechanics. The semi-synthetic assembly lube is used as a pre-lube to valve trains, lifters, cams, and bearings. This lube contains moly, zinc, and various high-pressure additives. This make helps it to provide maximum protection to the engine during a break-in.

My preference is to use assembly lube for the rest of the parts. Assembly lube will keep the parts from chafing (wearing against each other) during initial start-up until the oil can do it's thing. As the oil replaces the assembly lube (washes the lube away), all of these parts will be protected. 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.

Is Engine Assembly Lube Necessary? Yes, engine assembly lube is very important during the assembly or rebuild of an engine. The engine oil lubricates the different components of the engine. However, after assembly, it takes some seconds for the engine oil to get to some parts. This means that the metal parts will run dry and rub against each other, causing friction, which eventually leads to wear. This lubricant is fortified with Molybdenum compounds and graphite. I like the anti-seize capability of this grease. Because many lube found in the market don’t work as an anti-seize. I know it’s not an easy task for a beginner to choose the best possible grease. There are certain factors that you must consider while choosing it. Besides, you should have deep theoretical knowledge related to grease and engine. You wouldn't need to put assembly lube on timing belts or chains. You can put oil on a chain if you so desire, but considering how they're made, they should not incur any appreciable wear while the engine is starting up. Belts are usually run dry, so no need there. Besides, they are plenty flexible.

In a normal mechanical part, we can apply any kind of grease. But the parts of the engine are very important and delicate. Using a wrong grease can break any engine part and cost you a huge sum of money. Some say synthetic oils are “too slippery” for use as a break-in oil while others say using a high quality synthetic oil for the initial break-in is a waste of money because the oil will be drained within a few hours or few hundred miles once the initial break-in process is finished.Overall, this is a great product for budget buyers. If you are a professional engine builder who has to buy greases in a bulk amount then this is a great choice. Pros

For whichever route you go, if two pieces of metal are rubbing on each other, you'll want to use your lube there. Such as:The lubes must have antioxidants in their composition. Antioxidants can save your engine from maximum damage like corrosion, rust, sludge formation, etc. As antioxidants prevent oxidation, you must look for them in the composition of your desired one. No Clogging: FYI, I am used to highly viscous lubricants. This is why it seemed a little runny in my hands. But don’t worry about that. I didn’t find it dripping off from the engine. Many high-quality greases have anti seize compounds added as additives. In that case, they will protect you from galling, seizing the engine parts.
