The following item was found in the current issue of Flying magazine.
Although intended for aircraft engines, it sounds like it might be applicable
for our usages as well. I'll leave it those better versed in petrochemical
esoterica to comment. Usual disclaimers apply.
"A new preservative oil from Shell Oil Products Company is designed to
minimize the effects of humidity and to protect the internal parts of engines
from rust and corrosion during storage. The preservative oil, AeroShell Fluid
2F, formulated with a blend of AeroShell 100 and special protective additives,
is designed to be used in place of normal engine oil during moderate storage
outdoors or long-term storage indoors. After an oil and filter change,
AeroShell Fluid 2F is distributed through the engine by running at idle for
about 15 minutes. The Fluid 2F is available in one-gallon jugs through local
Shell distributors, FBOs, and Omaha Airplane Supply at 800/228-9400 or
402/422-6666. For more information about AeroShell lubricants, call
800/231-6950 or 713/241-2896."
I just wish I'd heard about this stuff before parking the MGA for its
interminable rehab.
