My Dad, The "Chemist", used to swear about the many uses of- BUTTER.
Yep... Plain 'ol -Moo Juice...
He'd put Butter on EVERYTHING...
While it seems, "Beef Oil" is GOOD for reducing friction, it is an equal= and opposite reaction on the Human heart. (R.I.P. DAD!)
He'd lighten a snow shovel, by placing a smear of butter on it, to make the snow slide off...
He'd put butter on my soap box derby axels, and my "Tank" would crush the competition.
Butter was rubbed on creaky door hinges, window slides, and rusty-Anything- to make it mooove again.
I wonder if there are any real "scientific" results of Moo-Juice viscosity...
Anyone know?
 
Interesting. A brief search resulted that a SAE 5 weight motor oil has a lower viscosity than a butter oil at 20°C. In other words, at room temperature, the SAE 5 weight motor oil flows better. Milk, on the other hand, appears to a have lower viscosity than either of these two at 20°C.

Product Temperature Viscosity
Butter fat (ghee) 40°C 45 mPas

Corn oil 60°C 30 mPas
Motor oil SAE 5 20°C 30 mPas

Milk 20°C 2 mPas
