Default Recommendations for penetrating oil

My can of plusgas is running out. Should i be looking for anything better?

To my surprise when i hit the ebay search plusgas didnt show up under penetrating oil, but did under release oil although only once. Are some of these other brands better?

I always use plusgas, and have yet to find better

I bought my last one in a gallon can, and decant it into a plant sprayer thingy

My 200ml spray lasted 5 years, so think i will go for the 1 litre can and get a spray bottle as Brian suggests.

Odd that it didnt come up under penetrating oil. Must be so famous it gets its own search term!

I use interflon fin. I do get it for free from work though, rather than about £15 for 100ml!!
