Best Multi-Purpose Lubricant

Multi-purpose lubricants are the catch-all spray cans that live in every garage — the ones you grab for a squeaky door hinge, a sticky tailgate latch, a frozen window track, or the parking brake cable that's started groaning. Most contain a light oil plus a solvent carrier that flashes off, leaving a thin lube film. They're not grease and they're not penetrating oil — for stuck bolts, reach for a dedicated penetrant (PB Blaster, Kroil); for high-load points like wheel bearings, reach for proper grease. Treat the multi-purpose can as the right tool for low-friction, low-load, occasional-use jobs, and don't expect it to free a rust-welded exhaust bolt.
