Re: [Chrysler300] Manifold Heat Control Valve Solvent

["Warren Anderson" <wranderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Hello, everyone:

  I'm down to my last can of Gulf "Part-Ease" Loosener & Lubricant. This stuff 
  contains colloidal graphite, petroleum distillate and 1/10 of one percent ortho 
  triaryl phosphate that creates a graphited, heat-resistant film to keep the 
  valve operating freely. It really works.

  I came up empty on a search for this and Mopar p/n 1879318. Does anyone know of 
  a comparably formulated solvent that works well on these heat control valves?

  Best,

  I have used a Macs product that is available at NAPA parts stores. Part number is 1413, Dry Graphite Film Lubricant (DGF). Also, Jig-A-Loo has a similar product that also works well and I remember came from Home Depot.

  I have used this type product for many years on every lug nut and bolt I have touched. I find it superior to anti seize products (like my favorite Never Seez) that leave a residue as the residue collects dirt; DGF does not. And, without the DGF (or an anti seize product and not ordinary oil), wheel fasteners are very likely not torqued properly. Very important where wheel fasteners are hammered home with power wrenches.
