Chemours Krytox GPL105 1oz Needle Nose Bottle - Industrial Oil

Krytox is straight up the best line of lubricants you can buy. The lower viscosity oil products (100 - 105) work well in many applications. I've used 105 to lubricate keys on membrane keyboards, 100 to lubricate mechanical keyboard switches, 100 to lubricate the bearings on a Logitech M570 trackball mouse... the list goes on. The grease products work well for larger applications like cabinet hinges. I tracked down some hard-to-find 100 because I was obsessed with having THE lowest viscosity Krytox possible, but it worked just as well as 105 in my applications. So unless you have a specialized industrial application, Krytox 105 will likely work just fine for novice use - which is good news because it's much cheaper than 100.

This is the ONLY approved stuff for a VW EOS roof. If you use normal silicon based lubricants on the roof seals on the retractable hardtop on any model year of the VW EOS convertible drop top they will damage the rubber seals by making dirt and dust particles stick to the seals. This stuff is very expensive to purchase and should be applies every summer to keep the roof working smoothly. This is the same PTFE lubricant VW buys to resell as a VW branded part in a bottle that is 2x larger than the VW part for the same price or higher. At this point in time if the roof fails because of a lack of proper required maintenance, the cost of a correct repair with needed parts and a roof alignment using the required alignment tools and a trained technician brought out to a VW dealer from their regional repair hub would cost more than the car is worth. if your roof leaks in rainy weather it may already too late to avoid a big repair bill and most VW dealers may no longer have anybody trained to work on the roof because the trained people have retired a long time ago. The complex work needed to keep a retractable hard top working is why new convertible cars have gone back to using soft tops.

I bought this to oil up the seals on my 2001 Mercedes SLK 230 to stop the creaking & squeaking that I had grown used to coming from the roof when the convertible was up. Why did I wait so long! Almost all the noises are gone. Worth every penny! As Always-Amazon delivers!

The product arrived without any physical damage or cosmetic imperfections. Before I start the review, I gotta say that selling Krytox 105 only in 1oz variation is kinda dumb. Reason for that is because most of the time, I don't need that much of this oil. Also Krytox 205G2 is being sold with 0.5oz, 2 oz variations, so why can't Krytox 105 be sold like that? Now, about the product itself. It is fantastic, works well with Krytox 205G2 and it can be used for pretty much any moving parts, be it plastic or metal. Used it with 205G2 to lube Gateron Yellow keyboards switches, ATH M-50X's plastic housings. Switches sound poppy and thocky, headphones move smoothly, and the annoying crackling noises are not heard anymore when I use them. Overall, this is solid product.

I bought this to oil up the seals on my 11 yr old Mercedes slk the seals had warped, were pinching in under the top of the windows and were leaking but it's pricwy to replace them and it can often make the leaking worse not better. I heard of this stuff from a merc forum and wow! A little goes a long way, I've done the whole car and hardly made a dent in the little bottle. I just rubbed a little into all the seals on a rare warm day, pulled the seals out from the windows using the back of a butter knife and left for a few hours before wiping off. The seals are much more supple. They have returned to their U pinched state and do not get caught in the windows any more and even better, the creaking that I had grown used to has almost gone. They should tell you about this product when you buy a hard top convertible. Love it!
