I free'd off a newly built engine and one of the reasons for its inability to turn over seemed to be brown stains everywhere inside, on the new pistons, rings and so on. I'm imagining it was stored for two decades and the oil gradually dried out.
So, theoretical question perhaps, but which lubricant is least likely to create this sort of problem over time - or which might have caused this in the first place?
I've also noticed a pan of cam followers which I've left in diesel for a long time (to clean up) seem to have the same sort of effect on the top faces where they are exposed.
