Thinking about applying this to the top side of an engine skid plate. How oil resistant is this material?

If you can get it applied before oil residue is present it will stick and the aluminum sided coating will offer good protection, but if you already have oil present, it will not stick

Not very. GTMat, also sold on amazon, is much more fluid/weather resistant.

Firstly...Why? Secondly... all this stuff is, is a layer or rubbery tar stuff and a layer of aluminum foil. As long as you get it to stick good I assume it should be very oil resistant.

Good question, my friend has tried applying it to a motorcycle as you described and his experience was a bad one. He said it took forever to buff off and even then there was a slight haze that remained. Would caution before doing.

Will be fine as a motorcycle final gear oil. I use this product in two BMW motorcycles, a BMW R1150RT and a R1200S, as a final drive oil and also as the transmission oil.

Its like a grease substance. All depending on how you like to use it. I like to add water and splash of dawn dish soap. I use it for 24.5 in tractor trailer tires even on old rusted steel rims it works great

Not really - it doesn't have much strength because its just silicone. When it dries its not as strong as a rubber band, but its thermally insulative and great for stopping oil leaks when gaskets leak.

I used this to undercoat my truck on a 60 degree morning in April in the Northeast, and it dried in about 15 minutes to a relatively hard finish, and I don't notice any sticky areas even on hot days. It's not quite as hard as paint, and I'm not sure the surface is paintable, but it does harden to a relatively hard surface. I think it's good stuff and I'm buying more.

i am using 303 to protect the cover on my spa. it works great so i would give it a shot on a car top.

Nothing on the packaging states either way about it's interaction with liquids - gasoline nor anything else. As a guess, I think it wouldn't hold up. The original JB Weld glue might though; it's kind of like the gray liquid nails and can even be used on engine blocks.

We used this material in a high pressure car wash. It bonded to fiberglass, metal and other materials. Once it's cured it seems to be working very well. Definelty the best product I have seen for wet areas.

Should be no problem. I have been using this wax since the early 60s on many different cars and paints. I wax my car in the spring and the fall and it has always lasted 6 months. I would be surprised if you were not happy with this product.

The package does not say so I would NOT use it for high heat applications for that reason. If it cannot be welded (best choice) use JB WELD or similar 2-part epoxy as they can be used on engines.

The consistency is kind of like SAE motor oil...just a little thicker but still kind of runny in compared to other polishes. You should be good~

No, it won't last long. Use collinite insulator wax. It's a type of polymer that last.

I used 3M brand High Temp spray adhesive on my RV engine compartment with the foil side facing down. This will assure a good bond under extreme heat and vibrations.

I put used motor oil in mine to spray my vehicles, Fluid Film should work just fine in it.

It adheres to the surface of all moving parts but will wear away over time/use. I believe the claim of "up to 30K miles", but more frequently is probably better in the long run. Using a full can per oil change may be overkill due to the cost/can. I do like the idea of adding "some" with each oil change and I've noticed a few of the synthetic brands actually have MOS2 in them, so that might make a difference in how much you add. The harder thing to decide is the optimal amount for your car.

I would not use it on anything. I put it in my truck and lost all oil pressure. I then drained it (which took 3 hours) and refilled it with fresh oil and it was all good. It is thicker than gear oil. Don't use it, it is snake oil that can ruin your engine.
