Back on the farm we used to paint the chains on the sileage wagon with used oil. It also works if you have some REALLY rusted parts (like stuff on the farm that's been sitting for 20 years). Dad used to take the parts and leave them submerged in a bucket of used oil for a couple weeks. You'd be supprized what you can unfreeeze that way.
