Battery died, swapping one of the many that are in the shop for now because I don't have the money for a good battery/ no point buying a cheapo and needing a better one once I get lights n such.
Ok that's pretty cool.
So nice popping a hood and having it magically rise up after i give it a few inches of lifting.

ATF+acetone is the best, followed by Kroil. Then Deep Creep, then PB.
From JF:
PB Blaster=ok. A 50/50 mix of acetone & ATF=Best Ever! Here's the cold, hard facts from the April/May 2007 edition of Machinist's Workshop. They did a test of penetrating oils where they measured the force required to loosen rusty test devices. Buy the issue if you want to see how they did the test. The results reported were interesting. The lower the number of pounds the better.
Penetrating oil . Average load .. Price per fluid ounce
None ................. 516 pounds .
WD-40 .............. 238 pounds .. $0.25
PB Blaster ......... 214 pounds .. $0.35
Liquid Wrench ... 127 pounds .. $0.21
Kano Kroil ........ 106 pounds .. $0.75
ATF-Acetone mix.. 53 pounds .. $0.10
