We have had some inquires about Val Oil and its availability. Valspar makes Val Oil. In quart cans is has their product number 27-30. Lowes is a supplier of the product. They may not have it in stock, but it is available from them. I did a Google search for Val Oil and 27-30 and got a couple of hits from some other on-line suppliers.
We have purchased the stuff by the gallon because it is what we have used for a number of years as a rust inhibitor on every Piper, Aeronca and Taylorcraft wing lift strut that we make.
It is a product similar to linseed or tung oil. We thin it down a little when we put it in the struts to allow it to slosh around a little bit and coat the inside of the strut. It then dries and sets up a good film to prevent rust.
A quart of Val Oil is enough to treat a ton of push rod tubes. Today, we put up some in half pint cans. We have assigned a part number of 100-1/2 PT and are selling it for $5.12 each.
