I get mine at both Auto Zone and Advance Auto Parts . Several companies offer this product . Gunk is the first brand that comes to mind . The counter people are usually helpful . I ask for water pump lubricant . The kind that I use comes in small bottles for five or six dollars per bottle . It also does a good job of stopping sound of a a squeaky water pump seal .

I have been told by more than one person who all should know that cutting oil will turn to jelly in the cooling system so I don't use it. I use an american product which gives great lubrication, rust resistance and is compatible with all antifreeze additives, not that I use any of those.
It's sold here branded as "Cyclo" Anti Rust & water pump lube and is made by Cyclo Industries LLC in Florida. Unlike most other soluble oils, it does not attack the hoses either. If I rub my fingers together after dipping one intot he coolant, I can feel the oiliness. You might gather that I recommend this stuff. Has anybody else used it?
