My automotives prof at university in the late 1970s called all those things
"gas house drip". I've always liked that descriptive term. It's
probably pretty accurate, too.
I can't imagine that there's any significant difference between any of
those products for what you're trying to do, Sujit. I'd guess than any
non-drying oil would probably work. (For long-term storage of my engines
I've usually used a good shot of SAE-30 in the spark plug holes -- enough
to fully wet the perimeter of each piston so the rings get fully wetted.
If you can turn the engine, it would probably be good to move the valves
for a different combination of open and closed across the cylinders, so the
ones open to moisture have a chance to be kept free and cycle another set
of cylinders open to ambient.
