I will share my results, don't believe any of it, make your own test, and compare the results. I used 1/4-20 stainless steel nuts/bolts. I coated the threads with the oil, placed the nut/bolt in a vise, torqued the vise @ 40 ft lbs. no lube - 1 1/2 turns before breaking off. AFT 2 turns, 30W detergent oil - 2 1/2 T, Mobil 1, 3 1/2 T, Walmart syn 3 1/2 T, 75/90w gear oil, 6 1/2 T. syn grease 5 T before breaking off. The vise I used is a machine shop type with a removable handle, a socket with torque wrench in place of the reg handle, piece of cake!!
