Maybe thats exactly what it is, just a baked on oil finish. I know it comes off very easily with a lacquer rag.

I have tried dipping parts in a 400 degree dirty oil bath which is great for darkening and treating cast iron parts like spindles. Never tried it on bare steel parts, I may try that and see what it does. Thanks guys.

Did you coat the parts after the hot oil dip?

No. The hot oil penetrates deep in the pores of the cast iron and makes for a pretty good seal. I doubt anything would stick. I do coat other bare steel parts with Bo-Shield which is a wax based product made for Boeing Aircraft and that works excellent.
