Lubrication to Prevent Seizing



Threaded joints subjected to wide temperature fluctuations may tend to seize and will then be difficult to unscrew on the next service occasion.

Typical threaded joints of this type are:
EGR valve connections
Oxygen sensor
Retaining nuts for the exhaust manifold and turbocharger

Recommended lubricants:
MOLYCOTE 1000 30 20 971 or NEVER SEIZE.
