Best Protection For Hydraulic Cylinder Rams Stored Outdoors?

[coollx]

What's the best coating (oil, grease, etc) to use on exposed hydraulic cylinder rams that are stored outdoors to prevent pitting and damage?

Grease or cosmoline (spelling) will stick better an last longer but would recommend removing the grease and cleaning the rods off before putting them back into service.

Cheapest way is plain ole grease, brushed on with old paint brush or finger.....

otherwise, fluidfilm or LPS #3 works great too.....:thumbsup:
