When mechanical parts seize up due to corrosion or age, a dependable penetrating oil is your best friend. These specialty lubricants are designed to penetrate tight crevices, dissolve rust bonds, and provide lubrication. But not all penetrants are created equal, and different components are required. That’s why JAX offers three standout products geared to different needs.
Why Penetrating Oils Matter
Penetrating oils are formulated to flow into narrow crevices—think threads, joints, hinges, or cable assemblies—so you can unlock stuck or seized components. They also displace moisture, prevent further rusting, and reduce noise from friction. Across industries such as automotive, industrial, construction equipment, food and beverage, and oil and gas, the right penetrant can save time, reduce downtime, and prevent costly repairs.
The Penetrating Oil Lineup
JAX America’s Finest Penetrating Oil
America’s Finest Penetrating Oil is a general-purpose penetrant with a powerful high-performance solvent. It quickly cuts through rust, grease, and dirt—penetrating even the tightest spaces.

Application Tips & Best Practices
- Clean Surface remove dirt & debris around stuck components to ensure the oil can work efficiently.
- Apply directly to target parts, such as threads, seized bolts, hinges, and rollers.
- Let it soak for several minutes to penetrate the rust or grime.
- Work the part (turn bolt, move hinge, etc.) and reapply if needed.
- Protect joints or surfaces by allowing any carrier solvents to vanish, leaving long-lasting lubricants behind.
- Choose the right grade for the application, use H1-rated Food Grade penetrant where incidental food contact is possible.
