Default Dieselgeek SS getting notchy..

I've heard a few drops of motor oil may provide the proper viscosity.

Default Use TRI-FLOW on it. Applied liberally on all moving parts. Works incredibly well.

Would 3-in-1 work equally well?

No. TriFlow has some teflon, and an additive that makes it schtick. Ex-Mil stuff.

Default No.... What InTTruder said. Get the TRI-FLOW. I knew guyswho used ONLY TTR-FLOW on their

go karts. Chain included. It's kinda like WD-40 on steroids, but doesn't evaporate in a few days. If you do the pocket door sliders in your house, they just stay lubed forevAr! It's amazing stuff.
