rbebeau Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I know everyone does it differently.... I'm just looking for ideas to try new things. So what is everyone using to lube their internals/slides? P.S. If this is in the wrong area someone says so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Slide Glide by BE. Doesn't splash and works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Everything from slide glide to engine oil and everything in between. Almost all of it works just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Synthetic motor oil - I like Shell Rotella - T but many use Mobil 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy42 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Personally I go for the minty freshness of Frog Lube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottlep Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I was using 5 weight Mobil 1 for a few years. Recently switched to Italian Gun Grease's Tactical Lube/Oil. I am amazed at how much smoother my 1911/2011s feel when racking them and shooting them and they seem to stay cleaner. IGG has small samples you can buy or maybe just email them and ask for a free sample Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in OK Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I use either Mobil 1 5w20 or Dexron ATF. Seems to work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I"m a slide glide user on everything but the disconnector and the barrel link for which I use Wilson Ultimalube. I use Slide glide light in the cool months and Standard in the warm months. It's great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echotango Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 slide glide light and really like how I do not get anything on my sight. Oil would splatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWNZRO Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've tried a bunch of different ones and have been very happy with Machine Gunners Lube that Sprinco.com sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyhunter Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I know everyone does it differently.... I'm just looking for ideas to try new things. So what is everyone using to lube their internals/slides? P.S. If this is in the wrong area someone says so. Slide Glide mixed with FP-10 to adjust the viscosity as needed.

PatJones Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Slide glide light on the top end. ATF on the sear, disconnector, trigger and associated smaller parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgardner Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I've settled on a mix of 25% FP-10 and 75% Royal Purple synthetic engine assembly lube. The stuff is slick and near impossible to wipe or burn off. Fouling wipes off easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick74 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Frog lube!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyO Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I have used A - Z and never perceived a difference. My gut feeling is any decent oil will do the job. Everything else is marketing by modern day Snake Oil salesmen bamboozling the feeble minded into overpaying for a flashy product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
