Looks like some light mineral oil. But I don,t know for sure.
Could you pull up a MSDS sheet on the product?

I had to chuckle at this. I cut the top off my can so I can get to the stuff in the bottom easier. The thing is, I go through so much it never dries out before it's gone!

Tri-flow is a penetrating oil and you can get it at Walmart and most parts stores. Black can red/orange writing.
A material safety data sheet (MSDS) is a form with data regarding the properties of a particular substance. An important component of product stewardship and workplace safety, it is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner, and includes information such as physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. MSDS formats can vary from source to source within a country depending on national requirements.
MSDS (material safety data sheets) are a widely used system for cataloging information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. MSDS information may include instructions for the safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular material or product. These data sheets can be found anywhere where chemicals are being used.
There is also a duty to properly label substances on the basis of physico-chemical, health and/or environmental risk. Labels can include hazard symbols such as the European Union standard black diagonal cross on an orange background, used to denote a harmful substance.
An MSDS for a substance is not primarily intended for use by the general consumer, focusing instead on the hazards of working with the material in an occupational setting.
In some jurisdictions the MSDS is required to state the chemical's risks, safety, and effect on the environment.
It is important to use an MSDS specific to both country and supplier, as the same product (e.g. paints sold under identical brand names by the same company) can have different formulations in different countries. The formulation and hazard of a product using a generic name (e.g. sugar soap) may vary between manufacturers in the same country.

According to http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/instr-shop/MSDS/Permatex Anti-Seize.pdf the contents are:
35-40% Mineral oil 64741-44-2
20-30% petro distillates, hydrotreated heavy napthenic 64742-52-5
15-25% calcium oxide 1305-78-8
5-15% aluminum powder 7429-90-5
1-10% graphite powder 7782-42-5
The number at the end is the CAS number for the ingredient, with that you can look up its properties and respective MSDS sheet on Google pretty easily.
The petro distillates are probably what's evaporating, but if you can get it thinned down enough with some mineral oil, go for it. All the stuff aside from the CaO, Al, and C evaporates/burns off when you heat it up anyways.

When you say mineral oil is that as in mineral oil paint thinner ? Or do I need to go find some pure mineral oil.
Is the tri-flow a spray or liquid.

Tri-flow is a spray can. WD40 or any penetrating oil will do the same thing. Put some in it, stir shake and cover it up. I use Tri-flow because that's what we have at work. It has graphite in it.

Not sure, I'd use pure mineral oil, I don't recall it being very expensive.

paint thinner is mineral SPIRITS and is a volatile organic compound - solvent
mineral oil is the same as baby oil w/o the scent - a light lubricant
