I'm putting together some Russell hose fittings for an oil filter relo kit on my dad's truck and the instructions for the fittings say to use Russell's "Assembly Lube" when putting the hose on the fitting threads. I'm only in town for a couple of days more and I don't have time to order this stuff. Can anyone tell me what it's made of and what I can use as a substitute for their assembly lube?

Thanks

It's a good idea any time you are assembling any Russell aluminum hose end or fitting with a mating aluminum part that the threads be coated with an assembly lube, such as CRC, WD-40 or some type of silicone spray. This helps prevent galling the threads.

Hope this helps.

The link keeps giving me a page load error, but that quote you included is helpful. Thanks.

Thanks man. It works now. I was looking at their site earlier and every time I tried to go to their tech section it would not work. Thanks again for the help.
