Default assembly lube ?

What do you guys use ? I recently had a problem with engine oil gelling after about 400 miles to the point where it wouldn't drain out of the pan and it seemed every other person was asking what assembly lube I used so it got me thinking. What do you guys use? And does it matter what oil you use with it?

I've been using the redline assembly lube lately. It sticks to everything really well, and is super slick.

Engine oil gelling is usually a sign that there is antifreeze in it.

Brad Penn assembly lube is what we use at work. From Subaru 4cyl to Lamborghini v12's, its what we use. We do a lot of $200k and up, fully built exotics and lots of 4 digit hp cars, every one gets Brad Penn assembly lube and break in oil. Never had a failure with it...
