There have been a number of "high-tech" (properly read as "high dollar") specialized firearms lubricants marketed heavily in recent years, and some of those have been little more than canola oil, usually with colorants or fragrances added. Canola oil is produced from the seeds of the rape plant, widely cultivated in Canada; the marketing folks probably noted some market resistance to a product known as "rape oil" so the product name became "canola" (Canada oil). You probably have a quart bottle in your kitchen cabinet that cost about $2 retail, but the little 2-oz. bottles marketed as "super-duper whiz-bang firearms lubricant" at $5 or more ($80-plus per quart) still seem to be selling briskly to happy customers.

Here in Florida there are lots of frogs, we treat them with respect and keep a few at the range in wilderness habitats, when our AR's need lube we just grab one and rub it on the bolt , give it a treat and back to the pool.
