    What is the temperature ceiling ?

    I was wondering what the general heat ceiling is on Felix Lube?

    Barring someone leving their ammo in black painted steel box in the direct sun at the equator......if you can take the heat...FWFL can take the heat as will most lubes. Far too many elctrons have been killed chatiin about on this subject in my opinion.


    There are those that would argue to the death saying otherwise, so take the above for what it is...my opinion based on my experience.

    When I make lube in a pot with a thermometer,after melting everything and if I let it sit, it doesn't start to harden up until it hits 150 deg. A car dash in the sun in a closed vehicle can reach that, but I sure can't take that kind of heat. And mine is soft BP lube.
