Go ahead and flame me now, but I have been using 5W30 Mobil 1 as my gun lube.
I was gonna use Mobil 1, but I thought why not use the same oil that my VW Passat TDI uses? VW goes 10k miles between oil changes! So I have Castrol synthetic oil, and a can of Peak Synthetic grease.
Now as long as I dont spill the oil or lose the can of grease, I will have smooth operation of all my guns as long as I am shooting, and then hand it down to who ever gets my collection.
btw, for me the oil and grease keep most of the cleaning, simple and easy as a wipe down and boresnake.
yeah, 10,000 miles between oil changes.
